Strange. Here's what I get:

ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have clang-format-6.0

@frankdownunder Try the following command: apt install clang-format-6.0

[frankdownunder]

I'm actually using 20.10 (GROOVY GORILLA). Is that version of ubuntu supported?

[mikee47]

According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/allpackages the oldest version is clang-format-8. I have a feeling that it produces (slightly) different results to version 6 so probably won't work at the moment. I cannot see clang-format-6 in the backports repo.

[frankdownunder]

Is there a workaround for this ? What impact would vsn 8 (or better still the latest) have?
I tried an earller version of ubuntu, 16.04,using a minimal docker file, but got a problem with "source" then "sudo"
/opt/sming/Tools/install.sh: line 61: sudo: command not found

[mikee47]

Version 8 does produce slightly different (arguably slightly better!) results. I've been unsuccessful attempting to find a setting to get version 8 to look like version 6. However, it might be possible to get version 6 to look like version 8.

Ubuntu 16.04 has gcc-8 and clang-format-8 available so yes I think updating to clang-format 8 would be worth doing.

I'll take another look...

We moved to clang-8 with the latest develop version.
