Does clang code formatting utility break defines only on Windows?

Question

There is this nice clang plugin for VS that supports code formatting. It is nice yet it breaks all complex defines:

Say we had:

#include <boost/preprocessor.hpp>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>

#define NM_PP_VARIADIC_MAX_LENGTH 5

#define NM_PP_TYPE_DECL(z, n, T) \
class BOOST_PP_CAT(T, n )

#define NM_PP_TYPE(z, n, T) \
    BOOST_PP_CAT(T, n )

#define NM_PP_ARGUMENT_DECL(z, n, T) \
    BOOST_PP_CAT(T, n ) BOOST_PP_CAT(t, n )

This is what we get after formating:

#include <boost/preprocessor.hpp>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>

#define NM_PP_VARIADIC_MAX_LENGTH 5

#define NM_PP_TYPE_DECL(z, n, T) \
class BOOST_PP_CAT(T, n)

#define NM_PP_TYPE(z, n, T)
BOOST_PP_CAT(T, n)

#define NM_PP_ARGUMENT_DECL(z, n, T)
BOOST_PP_CAT(T, n) BOOST_PP_CAT(t, n)

As you can see such code will not compile and most \ are removed. Is there a way to configure it to not remove \?

I tried using default configurations like LLVM and looked at formatting arguments but I can not see where such cruel code optimization is defined.

I would say this is caused by the file endings used, usually CR+LF in windows. Try to convert your files to unix style line endings (LF) and it should work.
