You may be interested in D60605 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D60605>, which is a
related idea (adding incremental format-and-indent-on-type to clangd).
These are opposite extremes in some sense: this patch integrates deeply into
clang-format and that patch entirely layers on top of it, by transforming the
source code (in hacky ways, in some cases).
I think the cleanest approach is probably some combination: in particular a
"preserve line break at point" primitive does seem useful, and even if source
code transforms are used, putting a nice API on this in clang-format would be
nice. (I'm not sure a separate command-line-tool is justified, though).
If you haven't run into these yet, here are some fun issues I ran into:
- clang-format bails out when brackets aren't sufficiently matched, incremental
formatting needs to work in such cases
- incremental formatting sometimes wants to make edits both immediately before
and after the cursor. `tooling::Replacements` can't represent this, they will
be merged and destroy precise cursor position information.
- user expectations when breaking between `()` are fairly clear. `{}` is the
same when it acts as a list, but not when it acts as a block!
