<br>
I would like to configure clang-format (version 3.6.0) not to break long<br>
string literals despite the ColumnLimit. I tried setting PenaltyBreakString<br>
to a large value and PenaltyExcessCharacter to a small value. This doesn't<br>
seem to have any effect.<br>
<br>
This is an example program:<br>
<br>
#include <string><br>
<br>
int main() {<br>
std::string s = "this is a really long string that"<br>
"i really would like to have formatted differently, in<br>
particular I want this line to stay like this";<br>
}<br>
<br>
clang-format --dump-config reports<br>
<br>
ColumnLimit: 80<br>
PenaltyBreakBeforeFirstCallParameter: 19<br>
PenaltyBreakComment: 300<br>
PenaltyBreakString: 2000000<br>
PenaltyBreakFirstLessLess: 120<br>
PenaltyExcessCharacter: 1<br>
PenaltyReturnTypeOnItsOwnLine: 60<br>
<br>
yet the program is formatted as such:<br>
<br>
#include <string><br>
<br>
int main() {<br>
std::string s = "this is a really long string that"<br>
"i really would like to have formatted differently, in "<br>
"particular I want this line to stay like this";<br>
}<br>
<br>
I there a way to solve this problem, or is this something clang can't do?<br>
