How to set comment's line length in clang-format?

Question

From this thread, I know ColumnLimit can set code line length. But it also influences comment line length, and I don't wish it to be controlled by ColumnLimit.

How to specify comment line length when ColumnLimit has been set?

Answer 1

If I understand your comment correctly, you're saying that breaking comments into lines will hinder some functionality in some other code analysis program. In that case, you may turn clang format off and back on for part of your code:

// clang-format off
void codeThatWontBeFormatted() // my very long comment that won't be formatted
{
}
// clang-format on
