Public bug reported:
>From clang-format-3.5 to clang-format-3.6, the definition of clang-
format-region changed in clang-format.el.
The old definition was this:
(defun clang-format-region ()
"Use clang-format to format the currently active region."
(interactive)
(let ((beg (if mark-active
(region-beginning)
(min (line-beginning-position) (1- (point-max)))))
(end (if mark-active
(region-end)
(line-end-position))))
(clang-format beg end)))
The new definition begins thus:
(defun clang-format-region (char-start char-end &optional style)
"Use clang-format to format the code between START and END according to STYLE.
If called interactively uses the region or the current statement if there
is no active region. If no style is given uses `clang-format-style'."
(interactive
(if (use-region-p)
(list (region-beginning) (region-end))
(list (point) (point))))
...
(It continues quite a bit longer.)
The call to use-region-p always returns false if transient-mark-mode is
turned off, e.g. via (transient-mark-mode nil). This causes clang-
format-region always to format the current line and never the selected
region.
This is a fix, barring some further subtlety I've missed:
(interactive
(if mark-active
(list (region-beginning) (region-end))
(list (point) (point))))
