[SOLVED] Clang format excessive amount of identation

Clang format excessive amount of identation

Why does clang-format add excessive indentation or line breaks to function arguments like std::move(widget) in complex lambdas? How can I configure it to keep arguments inline or reduce unnecessary breaks?

void overlay::remove(std::variant<std::shared_ptr<widget>, std::shared_ptr<label>> &&widget) noexcept {
  std::visit([this](auto &&arg) {
    std::erase_if(_widgets, [&arg](const auto &existing) {
      return existing == arg;
    });
  },
             std::move(widget)); // This line has a excessive amount of identation
}

How to reduce the indentation?

Solution

I have had this same problem, and could never get it to work. However, I found a bug report on this on GitHub: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56283.

It looks like this was never fixed, but there is more info here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D129443

(Took answer from another ans: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74109314/16529532) If it's applicable, I would avoid clang format and use your code editors formatter tool. If you can't that's okay.
