How to indent after access modifiers with clang-format

Question

How can I realize the following indentation after access modifiers:

class A{ public: int a; } 

should result in

class A {     public:         int a; // note the indentation } 

clang-format only allows the access modifiers to be on the same level as the int a AccessModifierOffset: 0 resulting in

class A {     public:     int a; }

Where I work, we've stumbled upon the same problem. Since the IndentWidth parameter controls the indentation everywhere (classes, functions, etc.) what you're trying to achieve seems impossible. The next best thing, in my opinion, is to keep IndentWidth=4 and set AccessModifierOffset=-2. That way you get:

class Foo {   public:     Foo() = default; };  bool foo() {     return true; }
