I got this doxygen comments in my legacy codebase and I like to keep them for consistency. 

/***************//****************************************************************
 *
 * @file
 *
 * Serial inteface to Novatel OEM4 GPS API.
 *
 *******************************************************************************/

Unfortunately clang-format-7 is formatting the comments unusual and makes the doxygen comments useless.

/*****************************************************************************/ /**
                                                                                 *
                                                                                 * @file
                                                                                 *
                                                                                 * Serial inteface to Novatel OEM4 GPS API.
                                                                                                                                                                *
                                                                                 *******************************************************************************/

I tried CommentPragmas : '^\.+' or '//**' in my .clang-format with no success.

My .clang-format is the following

---
AlignAfterOpenBracket: Align
AlignConsecutiveAssignments: 'true'
AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: 'true'

AlignTrailingComments: 'true'

CommentPragmas: '^\\.+'

...

I expect the doxygen comment to be untouched with my CommentPragmas, but it is not working for me.

Any help is appreciated.

Changing ReflowComments to false should do the thing (at least with clang-format 8.0).

  • This will stop any reflow of comments everywhere. And it will transform the first line to ...***//**. That is not what I want. I tried the CommentPragmaS option, but couldn't figure it out :( – eimer Aug 02 '19 at 18:14
