Details
Since clang-format has become available, I've started seeing function call
argument styles that look like AlignAfterOpenBracket: AlwaysBreak.
This is not Mozilla style (unless perhaps when there is no other option due to very long function names). Although not explicitly specified, the format I almost always saw previously was AlignAfterOpenBracket: Align.
See the GetFlavorData() arguments, for example, at line 315 of
https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D8074?id=22428#change-GEIhCAaWkyvA
Expected:
rv = dataProvider->GetFlavorData(this, aFlavor,
getter_AddRefs(dataBytes), &len);
Actual:
rv = dataProvider->GetFlavorData(
this, aFlavor, getter_AddRefs(dataBytes), &len);
The actual is very different from line 398.
Actual and tolerable:
mFormatConv->Convert(aFlavor,
aData,
aDataLen,
data.GetFlavor().get(),
getter_AddRefs(ConvertedData),
&ConvertedLen);
Expected:
mFormatConv->Convert(aFlavor, aData, aDataLen, data.GetFlavor().get(),
getter_AddRefs(ConvertedData), &ConvertedLen);
The expected formats above are what I get with BasedOnStyle: Mozilla at http://cf.monofraps.net/, so I don't know what is causing the actual formats.

I wouldn't consider this to be a bug, but more of the desired behavior. clang-format tries to fit all parameters onto a single line and if it fails than it brakes.
The implementation was done here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D14104

The implementation just adds another option.
Can you point me at the discussion that led to changing Mozilla's style, please?

afaik, we didn't have a discussion on this and we didn't change this behavior with the Mozilla coding style in clang-format.
So, I guess we are using the default option in clang-format :)

My assumption was that bug 1188202 would use clang-format to "reformat everything to Mozilla style", in which case this bug would track one feature required in setting up clang-format to do that. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188202#c0 at least seems to support that interpretation.
Are you implying that there has been a change in direction for bug 1188202 to instead reformat everything to clang-format's default style for BasedOnStyle: Mozilla, even though that is not Mozilla style?

Yeah, I have been experimenting, I will share more information with the finding when ready!

Thanks for taking a look. I assume we agree it is helpful to keep this open while still under investigation.

I think other parts of the codebase use single-line-per-argument, so yeah, this bug probably requires some discussion to figure out what is Mozilla style... :)
