Thanks for the feedback gentleman.
I was unaware Artistic Style is dead. Haven't found a line length
thing in it anyway. I am using Artistic Style for formatting because
the default QtCreator coding style and a project level .astylerc of
this:
# If you have astyle installed on your Linux development machine and
# you have enabled it via Beautifier plug-in then this file will control
# how the beautifier formats the code.
--style=allman
--indent=spaces=4
--add-braces
--convert-tabs
--keep-one-line-statements
along with a keyboard shortcut of <ALT><Shift><F> gets me the bulk of
the way there. I have to manually view the ruler and fix which is fine
since I'm merging multiple "test" projects into something usable, but,
the "official" requirement states "an automated tool." Might see if we
can get overrides for that.

Ugh... clang-format...
Be warned: clang-format's version of line length enforcement is *very*
draconian. There is exactly one, and *only* one way to wrap a line (for
a given configuration, anyway¹). If you try to wrap a line differently,
because it improves readability... that's wrong, and clang-format will
"fix" it for you.
I can't recommend astyle, since it is basically dead, but please do
yourself a favor and also look at uncrustify, which is active and can be
configured to be far less rigid than clang-format while still enforcing
a line length limit.
(¹ Basically, clang-format supports "one item per line", "greedy", and
nothing in between². You can choose between them, but only globally, not
on a per-case basis.)
(² Pedantically, it also supports "leave it alone", but only if you turn
off line length enforcement, so that doesn't help you.)
