c++ - Unable to disable extern indentation with clang-format

Question

I'm not sure if this is a limitation or bug with clang-format (built from source, clang-format version 12.0.0 ([email protected]:llvm/llvm-project.git d4ce062340064c3f73b8f6136c7350a5abe83cac)), but I am unable to disable indentation after extern "C" {.

My current .clang-format:

Language: Cpp
Standard: Latest

UseTab: Never
IndentWidth: 4
AccessModifierOffset: -2
SpaceBeforeParens: Never
ColumnLimit: 80
SpacesBeforeTrailingComments: 1
BreakBeforeBraces: Allman

FixNamespaceComments: true
SortIncludes: true
SortUsingDeclarations: true
IncludeBlocks: Regroup

IndentPPDirectives: AfterHash
IndentCaseLabels: true
IndentExternBlock: NoIndent
NamespaceIndentation: All

AlignTrailingComments: true
AlignConsecutiveAssignments: true
AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: true
AlignConsecutiveBitFields: true
AlignConsecutiveMacros: true
AlignAfterOpenBracket: AlwaysBreak


AllowShortFunctionsOnASingleLine: None
AllowShortBlocksOnASingleLine: Never
AllowShortIfStatementsOnASingleLine: Never
AllowShortLoopsOnASingleLine: false
AllowShortCaseLabelsOnASingleLine: false
AllowShortEnumsOnASingleLine: false
AllowShortLambdasOnASingleLine: None
AlwaysBreakTemplateDeclarations: Yes

BinPackArguments: false
BinPackParameters: false
AllowAllArgumentsOnNextLine: false
AllowAllParametersOfDeclarationOnNextLine: false
AllowAllConstructorInitializersOnNextLine: false
ConstructorInitializerAllOnOneLineOrOnePerLine: true
PenaltyBreakBeforeFirstCallParameter: 500 # basically always break

# Note: must have my custom build (https://github.com/jasperswallen/llvm-project/tree/pointeralignment-right) to properly enable these options
BreakBeforeConceptDeclarations: true
PointerAlignment: Right

This example file is the "formatted" result:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif

    void example(void);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

but I want something like:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif

void example(void);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

It seems like IndentExternBlock: NoIndent should be the correct option to force this, but it's still indenting even with that set.

Is it possible that BreakBeforeBraces: Allman is overriding this setting? I assumed that IndentExternBlock would override braces unless set to AfterExternBlock.
