1. Consider Visual Studio 2013
2. Install Visual Assist on it
3. Install ClangFormat https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LLVMExtensions.ClangFormat
4. There should appear items "Clang Format Document/Selection" under Tools menu in Visual Studio. Sometimes they do not appear. Let's consider the case when they don't.
5. Disable Visual Assist and restart Visual Studio
6. See how "Clang Format Document/Selection" items appeared under Tools menu
Behavior in item 4 are different for different installations of Visual Studio. We wasn't able to consistently reproduce it, but we faced it only in VS2013.

What happens if you do the same but skip step 5? Since the effect is not consistent, is it possible, that sometimes restart would help even without disabling Visual Assist?
You commented: quote:
Seems like disabling some other extensions like Visual Assist helps in some cases.
Does this mean that disabling Visual Assist does not always help?
Would it be possible to try disabling VA for a while and see if it helps consistently?
Which update you are on with Visual Studio? |

Sorry for the late reply, I was sure the forum will automatically subscribe me to the thread I created. Turned out it did not.

Yes, sometimes restart does help. Without disabling VA. Disabling VA does not always help. Most probably the problem is mostly on the side of ClangFormat extension, but I'm sure you guys have much more experience with Visual Studio, so maybe you can provide LLVM folks some additional information on the issue? I placed link to the bug in LLVM in the original post.

Yes.

It is quite difficult. For now it seems like either disabling VA helps immediately, or does not help at all.

Visual Studio 2013 Update 4. We cannot switch to Update 5 right now, because changing compiler versions is a big deal for us. |

from ClangFormat bug #35100:
quote:
I tried to manually remove extension folder from "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions\", but this did not help either.
It might help to delete the extension cache files:
- Close Visual Studio and then delete all files including sub directories:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache\*
- and all .cache files in the following directory and its subdirectories:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions\*.cache
If you do this, Visual Studio will rebuild stuff at next start that might help.
You should be able to subscribe to this forum using the link at the top-right corner of this page. As you noticed it doesn't happen automatically. |
