<div>
<pre>.clang-format file:
Language: Cpp
PointerAlignment: Left
After running clang-format the code is formatted as follows:
int* a;
int *c, *d;
int MyClass::*e;
void Foo(int (*Bar)[3]);
As you can see, PointerAlignment is used to format the first declaration but
not for the other 3 declarations. I find it especially awkward that the
addition of the second variable directly affects the placement of the asterisk
for the first declared variable in line 2.
I would expect the formatting to be applied to all occurrences of pointer
declarations even though they might not have a type name directly written left
to the asterisks:
int* a;
int* c, * d;
int MyClass::* e;
void Foo(int (* Bar)[3]);
Note the added white spaces before all asterisks. Also note that the issue
applies to references as well.</pre>
