clang-format: Disabling Formatting on a one line

[VasaMM]

Often I need disable formatting only on one line. In this case it is annoying write // clang-format off above line and // clang-format on below line. And there is room for error also. It would be nice, if it will be exist some inline command for disabling.

I've seen this requested before, do you have a suggestion?

[VasaMM]

We were thinking about it. What about //< clang-format off?

E.g.:

...
int x = 0;
usnigned int y = 1; //< clang-format off
int z = 2;
...

instead of

...
int x = 0;
//< clang-format off
usnigned int y = 1;
//< clang-format on
int z = 2;
...

Hi, Is there any update on this?

[jamiecook]

Would also love to see this and the syntax proposed by @VasaMM seems quite tidy

Another option similar to other tools (clang tidy) is:

// clang-format off-next-line

Let me also vote for this extension. Both are really nice to have:

1. clang-format off-next-line
2. clang-format off-current-line

I would love to see some shorter magic phrase or maybe allow configuring some acronyms (CFONL / CFOCL)

anything working on?

Should this be marked as a good first issue?

If no one else is working on this, can I pick it up?

Sorry I haven't said anything in 3 weeks. I don't think I can work on this very soon.
If anyone else wants to work on this, it's open.
