<p>I do not like the BreakBeforeBraces in the default llvm style, I want to use GNU style. The final behavior of clang-format should be:</p>

http://releases.llvm.org/4.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ClangFormat.html</a>. I guess</p>

<pre class="lang-cpp prettyprint prettyprinted" style=""><code><span class="pln">clang</span><span class="pun">-</span><span class="pln">format </span><span class="pun">-</span><span class="pln">fallback</span><span class="pun">-</span><span class="pln">style</span><span class="pun">=</span><span class="str">'{BasedOnStyle: LLVM, BreakBeforeBraces: GNU}'</span></code></pre>

<p>should do the job, however, I get</p>

<pre class="lang-cpp prettyprint prettyprinted" style=""><code><span class="typ">Invalid</span><span class="pln"> fallback style </span><span class="str">"{BasedOnStyle: LLVM, BreakBeforeBraces: GNU}"</span><span class="pln"> </span><span class="kwd">using</span><span class="pln"> LLVM style</span></code></pre>

<p>I always use the clang-format via its vim plugin clang-format.py. If there is a method to do the job by modifying clang-format.py or .vimrc, it is also welcome.</p>
