[cfe-users] Visual Studio clang-format extension difficulties

[Michael Price]

The guidance for how to use the "File" configuration for the options is not
clear.

I've put a .clang-format file in the same directory as the source code, but
it doesn't seem to be picking up those settings.  Does anyone have an
example of how this is supposed to work?

They guidance provided by the plugin (in the Visual Studio options dialog
for the extension) gives an example for the content of the YAML file along
the lines of

'{BasedOnStyle: "LLVM", IndentWidth:8}'

But this exact string doesn't seem to work, neither does removing the outer
quotes, nor the curly braces, nor the commas (which is the format that
clang-format -dump-config prints out).
