history

Project history and usage

clang-format@11 is the versioned Homebrew packaging of LLVM/Clang's formatter for the LLVM 11 era. It exists for projects that need the formatting behavior of that major release instead of whichever clang-format happens to be newest.

Project history

The underlying clang-format tool predates LLVM 11, but the 11.1.0 documentation captures the feature set and command-line behavior for that release line. It documents clang-format as a LibFormat-based standalone tool with editor integrations and project-local .clang-format or _clang-format configuration.

Adoption history

Versioned clang-format packages are useful because formatter output can change across LLVM releases. The supplied package-manager data lists Homebrew clang-format@11 as well as Debian and Ubuntu clang-format packaging, reflecting the need to install or pin specific major versions in build and CI environments.

How it is used

Users run clang-format-11 or git-clang-format-11 from the Homebrew package when a project requires LLVM 11 formatting. Configuration remains project-local via .clang-format or _clang-format, with -style=file and -dump-config documented in the LLVM 11 manual.

Why package nerds care

The package is significant as a version pin rather than a separate upstream. Formatting is often treated as a build contract, so package managers keep older clang-format majors available to avoid style churn in long-lived C, C++, Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, Protobuf, and C# repositories.

Timeline

2013: clang-format documented in Clang 3.3.
2020: LLVM 11.0.0 release line published.
2021: LLVM 11.1.0 documentation preserved the clang-format 11 command-line and style behavior.
2026: Homebrew still distinguishes the versioned clang-format@11 formula from the unversioned clang-format package in the supplied input.
