Thanks for this guide!
I found that this configuration essentially forces the "before-save-hook" to always run "clang-format-buffer" once you load a C/C++ file. This is fine if you're working on a project, but has the unintended consequence of formatting non-C/C++ files if you work on many different files. This is particularly cumbersome when editing something like a LaTeX file, where the position of the curly braces and whitespace tends to matter.
A much more robust way I've found is to do simply map the "C-x C-s" key (which is the default save key) to a function that formats then saves:
I have the same problem. I solved it by doing
thank you both of them.
I will update for article and my init.el
