            Bug ID: 39803
           Summary: When breaking a comment and placing the second part on
                    a new line, libformat should leave one whitespace
                    between the text and the right-most star in C-style
                    comments
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Formatter

In C-style comments, some code can have the following pattern:

/*
 *
**/

When breaking comments across lines like this, libformat seems to put the next
line at the position of the left-most star + 2 to the right, which doesn't
leave enough whitespace between the text and the right-most star.

See the following test case which demonstrates the problem:

$ cat test.cpp
/*
 * Hello world, this is a comment that is longer than eighty characters
looooong!!!!
**/
$ clang-format -style=Google test.cpp
/*
 * Hello world, this is a comment that is longer than eighty characters
 *looooong!!!!
 **/

(Bugzilla may wrap lines, but in the test case, all of the text is on the same
line.)
