This change adds a feature to the clang-format VS extension that optionally enables the automatic formatting of documents when saving. Since developers always need to save their files, this eases the workflow of making sure source files are properly formatted. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D29221 llvm-svn: 299543 |

This directory contains a VSPackage project to generate a Visual Studio extension for clang-format. Build prerequisites are: - Visual Studio 2015 - Extensions SDK (you'll be prompted to install it if you open ClangFormat.sln) The extension is built using CMake to generate the usual LLVM.sln by setting the following CMake vars: - BUILD_CLANG_FORMAT_VS_PLUGIN=ON - NUGET_EXE_PATH=path/to/nuget_dir (unless nuget.exe is already available in PATH) example: cd /d C:\code\llvm mkdir build & cd build cmake -DBUILD_CLANG_FORMAT_VS_PLUGIN=ON -DNUGET_EXE_PATH=C:\nuget .. Once LLVM.sln is generated, build the clang_format_vsix target, which will build ClangFormat.sln, the C# extension application. The CMake build will copy clang-format.exe and LICENSE.TXT into the ClangFormat/ directory so they can be bundled with the plug-in, as well as creating ClangFormat/source.extension.vsixmanifest. Once the plug-in has been built with CMake once, it can be built manually from the ClangFormat.sln solution in Visual Studio. =========== Debugging =========== Once you've built the clang_format_vsix project from LLVM.sln at least once, open ClangFormat.sln in Visual Studio, then: - Make sure the "Debug" target is selected - Open the ClangFormat project properties - Select the Debug tab - Set "Start external program:" to where your devenv.exe is installed. Typically it's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" - Set "Command line arguments" to: /rootsuffix Exp - You can now set breakpoints if you like - Press F5 to build and run with debugger If all goes well, a new instance of Visual Studio will be launched in a special mode where it uses the experimental hive instead of the normal configuration hive. By default, when you build a VSIX project in Visual Studio, it auto-registers the extension in the experimental hive, allowing you to test it. In the new Visual Studio instance, open or create a C++ solution, and you should now see the Clang Format entries in the Tool menu. You can test it out, and any breakpoints you set will be hit where you can debug as usual.
