Adding space after // in clang format

Question

I have a clang-format based off of LLVM but I found it surprisingly hard to find a setting to add space after comment start. Basically, I'd like to have:

// This is a comment

instead of:

//This is a comment

Here's the .clang-format I'm using at the moment:

There seems to be a SpacesInLineCommentPrefix option in Clang 13, see docs. However, as far as I can see, there's no such option in older versions.

If you have access to Clang 13 on your system, this is how you'd use it:

SpacesInLineCommentPrefix:
  Minimum: 1
  Maximum: 1
