Type: LanguageService

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Windows 10 and Linux CentOS 7.4
• VS Code Version: 1.41.0
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.26.3-insiders2

clang-format seems to be version 6, can this be upgraded please?

To Reproduce

Just introduce a setting into the .clang-format file that is supported by version 9 or 10. eg:

AllowShortIfStatementsOnASingleLine: Always

formatting will fail....

On my computer (Windows10, Extension Version: 0.26.2), it's clang-format V6.0 . You can find it here ${Users}${User}.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.cpptools-0.26.2\LLVM\bin\clang-format.exe

You can install the clang-format version you like, and set the path in "setting"."C_Cpp.clang_format_path". That may solve your problem.

I would also appreciate an upgrade of the clang-format version on Windows because I can't use BasedOnStyle: Microsoft with clang-format version 6. This option was added in clang-format 9. I'm now using the workaround @qianyeLC proposed: I installed clang 9 and set C_Cpp.clang_format_path accordingly.

If it's version 6 then seems like time for an upgrade! I realize I can install a newer clang and point vs code at it but would be awesome if a newer version came out of the box. The thing is that if you work in a team that everyone is using vs code, and you want to maintain a particular code formatting standard, then we all need to use the same clang-format version. It's much easier to manage this situation if it's included already.

We're tracking it with #2887 .
