See discussion here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55982
And the RFC here:
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-disable-clang-format-in-the-clang-test-tree/63498/2
We don't generally expect test files to be formatted according to the
style guide. Indeed, some tests may require specific formatting for the
purposes of the test.
When tests intentionally do not conform to the "correct" formatting,
this causes errors in the CI, which can drown out real errors and causes
people to stop trusting the CI over time.
From the history of the clang/test/.clang-format file, it looks as if
there have been attempts to make clang-format do a subset of formatting
that would be useful for tests. However, it looks as if it's hard to
make clang-format do exactly the right thing -- see the back-and-forth
between
13316a7
and
7b5bddf.
These changes disable the .clang-format file for clang/test, llvm/test,
and clang-tools-extra/test.
Fixes#55982
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D128706
The changes to "AlignTrailingComments" and "CommentPragmas" did not
result in what I expected (just leave the special comments alone).
Instead now the following:
void test() {
int i; // expected-error
// expected-warning
}
is formatted into:
void test() {
int i; // expected-error
// expected-warning
}
which is even worse.
Hopefully this will make the bot a little less noisy. Rationale for each:
AlignTrailingComments: We don't want to force-align the various expected-error
and friends.
CommentPragmas: Tell clang-format to leave the "// CHECK:" and the
"// expected-" alone.
AlwaysBreakTemplateDeclarations: Templates in tests often have no break between
the template-head and the declaration.

A column limit in the test folder can lead to trouble as the RUN, CHECK,
etc. comments can potentially be broken over multiple lines changing
their meaning. Without column limit, clang-format will simply keep the
test author's line breaks.
