[PATCH] D48034: [clang-format] Discourage breaks in submessage entries

[Krasimir Georgiev via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

krasimir created this revision.
Herald added a subscriber: cfe-commits.

Currently clang-format allows this for text protos:

  submessage:
      { key: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' }

when it is under the column limit and when putting it all on one line exceeds the column limit.

This is not a very intuitive formatting, so I'd prefer having

  submessage: {
    key: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
  }

instead, even if it takes one line more.

This is just a rough sketch of an approach to achieve this: add a penalty for breaking before the `{`.
Want to discuss the validity of this approach.
