|
Build System Changes
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
These are major changes to the build system that have happened since the 12.0.0
|
|
release of Clang. Users of the build system should adjust accordingly.
|
|
|
|
- The option ``LIBCLANG_INCLUDE_CLANG_TOOLS_EXTRA`` no longer exists. There were
|
|
two releases with that flag forced off, and no uses were added that forced it
|
|
on. The recommended replacement is clangd.

AST Matchers

|
|

|
- ...
|
|
|
|
clang-format
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- Option ``SpacesInLineCommentPrefix`` has been added to control the
|
|
number of spaces in a line comments prefix.
|
|
|
|
- Option ``SortIncludes`` has been updated from a ``bool`` to an
|
|
``enum`` with backwards compatibility. In addition to the previous
|
|
``true``/``false`` states (now ``CaseInsensitive``/``Never``), a third
|
|
state has been added (``CaseSensitive``) which causes an alphabetical sort
|
|
with case used as a tie-breaker.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
|
|
|
// Never (previously false)
|
|
#include "B/A.h"
|
|
#include "A/B.h"
|
|
#include "a/b.h"
|
|
#include "A/b.h"
|
|
#include "B/a.h"
|
|
|
|
// CaseInsensitive (previously true)
|
|
#include "A/B.h"
|
|
#include "A/b.h"
|
|
#include "B/A.h"
|
|
#include "B/a.h"
|
|
#include "a/b.h"
|
|
|
|
// CaseSensitive
|
|
#include "A/B.h"
|
|
#include "A/b.h"
|
|
#include "a/b.h"
|
|
#include "B/A.h"
|
|
#include "B/a.h"
|
|
|
|
- ``BasedOnStyle: InheritParentConfig`` allows to use the ``.clang-format`` of
|
|
the parent directories to overwrite only parts of it.
|
|
|
|
- Option ``IndentAccessModifiers`` has been added to be able to give access
|
|
modifiers their own indentation level inside records.
|
|
|
|
- Option ``ShortNamespaceLines`` has been added to give better control
|
|
over ``FixNamespaceComments`` when determining a namespace length.
