        <pre>Documentation for BreakConstructorInitializers at
<a href="https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.htm">https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.htm</a> DOES NOT imply that the
behaviour is subject to ColumnLimit.

BreakConstructorInitializers was introduced in: <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D32479">https://reviews.llvm.org/D32479</a>

A related request and differential is: <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D14484">https://reviews.llvm.org/D14484</a>

What we currently have is inconsistent behaviour, which I propose to patch and
also offer to maintain, along the lines of earlier work either as suggested in
(a) <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D14484">https://reviews.llvm.org/D14484</a> or (b)
<a href="https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/pull/67">https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/pull/67</a> or (c) any other way.

Consider the following default LLVM style configuration at 'master' currently:

AllowAllConstructorInitializersOnNextLine: true
BreakConstructorInitializersBeforeComma: false
BreakConstructorInitializers: BeforeColon
ColumnLimit:     80
ConstructorInitializerAllOnOneLineOrOnePerLine: false

And sample test file (same as official documentation referred above):
D:\>clang-format.exe test.cpp
Constructor() : initializer1(), initializer2()

Output with: BreakConstructorInitializers: BeforeColon
Constructor() : initializer1(), initializer2()
That is, no change.

Output with: BreakConstructorInitializers: AfterColon
Constructor() : initializer1(), initializer2()
That is, no change.

Output with: BreakConstructorInitializers: BeforeComma
Constructor()
    : initializer1()
    , initializer2()

That currently only the BeforeComma option works without consideration to
ColumnLimit.

This bug report is to make the three choices consistent with each other with
consideration to ColumnLimit, preferably with a choice to enforce line break
irrespective of ColumnLimit as others have requested earlier.</pre>
