clang-format seems to ignore CommentPragmas

Question

I have the following CommentPragmas setting:

CommentPragmas: 'MARKER'

And I expect this to make clang-format (version 8.0.0) ignore the comments in this piece of code:

    enum bar {
    // MARKER: foo
        hello = 1
    // MARKER: foo
    };

However, clang-format indents these comments (aligning them with hello = 1). Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

You're not doing anything wrong, this is just what clang-format does. CommentPragmas prevents breaking comments into multiple lines, but does not prevent indenting them.

I had thought this was documented, but now I see that it isn't. :(
