Re: Adding a clang-format file

Hi, Just wondering would you mind sharing your .clang-format file? I find
the attachment you pointed to is only a demo with a “…” line and it doesn’t
format PG code very well.

btw I’m also greatly in favor of this idea. clang-format is tightly integrated into
CLion and it’s very convenient. right now I’m using a CLion preset by Greenplum [1]
but it doesn’t handle struct fields and variables column alignment very well.
