            Bug ID: 28107
           Summary: clang-format doesn't have a way of specifying an
                    absolute path to a .clang-format file
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Formatter

-style=string says

    Use -style=file to load style configuration from
    .clang-format file located in one of the parent
    directories of the source file (or current
    directory for stdin).

but this is not actually helpful if I have a common style file for multiple
projects which cannot be guaranteed to live underneath the same directory.


Using -assume-filename I can point at exactly the file I want to use, but
that's only good for stdin, and isn't so good for formatting in place.
