[cfe-dev] clang-format behavior for Obj-C methods with block parameters

Thanks for the response Daniel,

Could you guide me on where can I look inside clang-format implementation
to see how clang-format currently handles lambdas in other languages, so
that I may try to implement the same functionality for Objective-C case?

Besides that, I have one more question, which is somewhat related to topic.

When I try to use clang-format to format the following simple code:

- (void)asdf {
[UIView animateasdfasdf:0 animations:^{ }];
[UIView animations:^{ } done:YES];
[UIView animations:^{ } completion:^{ }];
[UIView testasdfasdfsd:YES animations:^{ } completion:^{ }];
[UIView animations:^{ } tessd:YES completion:^{ }];
}

Output is the following:

- (void)asdf {
  [UIView animateasdfasdf:0
               animations:^{
               }];
  [UIView animations:^{
  }
                done:YES];
  [UIView animations:^{
  }
      completion:^{
      }];
  [UIView testasdfasdfsd:YES
      animations:^{
      }
      completion:^{
      }];
  [UIView animations:^{
  }
      tessd:YES
      completion:^{
      }];
}

I think clang-format somehow decides to not use colon alignment but align
using `ContinuationIndentWidth` where there are more than one block
parameters.
Is this an intended behavior? Seems like a bug to me.

PS : I'm using the default LLVM configuration for the above case.

Nope, this behavior isn't currently implemented. I agree that it might make
sense, as it is similar to how clang-format treats lambdas at the end of
several other parameters.

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a problem with clang-format for my code.

I'm using ColumnLimit as 120. When I write some code like this:

[self testMethod:15 withBlock:^{
NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
}];

This code would be converted to this by clang-format:

[self testMethod:15
       withBlock:^{
       NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
       NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
       NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
       NSLog(@"asdfasdf");
   }];

That seems wrong to me because the method call before block variable
actually fits in width of 120. I guess this is because clang-format behaves
above code as a single method call and assumes it as one line. But I really
want to not split the method like this because it feels weird.

Is there a way to accomplish this with current system?

I put my configuration file as an attachment.

Best
