.clang-format or _clang-format not found in ancestry

[pinpox]

Hi,
I use Neovim on linux arch. Everything up-to-date.
When I run :Autoformat my .clang-format is only detected if it is in the same directory as the c file.
If it is in a parent directory (like my /home) it is not recognized.

Do I have to set something to make it read it or is this a bug?

The logic used can be found here: https://github.com/Chiel92/vim-autoformat/blob/db17ccbacb55beea82fdaa9a1cde82f6a928d16d/plugin/defaults.vim#L80-L89

Perhaps there are mounted volumes or symlinks involved? There are outstanding issues for that

Any ways to put 1 .clang-format file in any folder and use in many project as we expect ?
i mean put _clang-format in ~/.vim or in $HOME but still use format for C-project
We don't have to put .clang-format in any project because it seems repeat and tedious
We so appreciate if vim-autoformat have this feature, It make UX better and easy for use. Thanks

You can try this in vimrc file

let g:formatdef_clangformat = "'clang-format -lines='.a:firstline.':'.a:lastline.' --assume-filename=\"'.expand('%:p').'\" --style=file:/path_to_file/.clang-format'"
