retitle 939825 ClangFormat: requires patched clang thanks Hi! It turns out that the ClangFormat plugin requires a patched Clang. The patch has been published to upstream but it has so far not been yet accepted.
We will not ask Clang maintainers to push a non-accepted patch. If you the reader want this to happen please help pushing the patch into clang's main branch: https://reviews.llvm.org/D53072 In the meantime I pushed a patch into Qt Creator's dev tree in order to give the user a more detailed error message, I have also just pushed this patch to unstable. Cheers, Lisandro.
