Operator % does not insert space

[LiShunGang (LiShunGang)]

This is my setting

After auto format, the space before "operator %" is removed. But this does not happen on other operators.

How to make it insert space near "operator %"?

Vscode version: 1.7.0
C/C++ version: 1.61.1

It appears to be a limitation/bug with the vcFormat engine. You need to use something like "int i = ctx% m_op;" for the formatting to work. Is the % operator overloaded to have a side effect that modifies its arguments?

[LiShunGang (LiShunGang)]

Yes, I have overloaded “operator %”. 'ctx' and 'm_op' are objects. But as I can see, other binary operators work well...

[LiShunGang (LiShunGang)]

I got it!
This is affected by the “C_Cpp.vcFormat.space.pointerReferenceAlignment”.
Looks like a bug to me...

I wonder if that's because ^ and % are pointer/reference in managed C++. We should check with VC folks and see if there's a setting to disable that for non-managed codebase formatting.
