Can clang format add braces to single line if statements etc

Is there an option for clang-format to add braces to all if()/do/while statements etc?

eg

if( i == 42 )
   std::cout << "You found the meaning of life\n";
else
   std::cout << "Wrong!\n";

to

if( i == 42 )
{
   std::cout << "You found the meaning of life\n";
}
else
{
   std::cout << "Wrong!\n";
}

Using

$ clang-format --version
clang-format version 3.6.0

clang-tidy can make syntactic changes to your code using FIXITS

clang-tidy YOUR_FILE.cpp -fix -checks="readability-braces-around-statements" -- COMPILE_OPTIONS

Updated:

clang-tidy is a bit of a heavyweight tool for this as it needs compile options to parse the file, sadly clang-format (as of v3.9) won't add braces.

COMPILE_OPTIONS would be the include paths etc that you use to compile the file with, ie -std=c++14 -stdlib=libc++ -O2 -I.

If you have a compile_options.json file from CMake then you can pass the path of the directory it is contained in to clang-tidy and it will look up the appropriate compile options for the file:

clang-tidy YOUR_FILE.cpp -fix -checks="readability-braces-around-statements" -p COMPILE_OPTIONS_DIR

Starting clang-format-15 (currently trunk), the answer is yes - using the new InsertBraces option, which landed just today:

From the clang-format documentation:

> InsertBraces (Boolean) clang-format 15 > > Insert braces after control statements (if, else, for, do, and while) in C++ unless the control statements are inside macro definitions or the braces would enclose preprocessor directives. > >Warning: > >Setting this option to true could lead to incorrect code formatting due to clang-format’s lack of complete semantic information. As such, extra care should be taken to review code changes made by this option.

false:                                    true:

if (isa<FunctionDecl>(D))        vs.      if (isa<FunctionDecl>(D)) {
  handleFunctionDecl(D);                    handleFunctionDecl(D);

  handleVarDecl(D);                         handleVarDecl(D);
else                                      } else {
  return;                                   return;
