Replying to softworkz from the mailing list archive:
I tried out the .clang-format file you proposed and I ended up using:
AlignConsecutiveDeclarations:        Consecutive
instead of:
> +AlignConsecutiveDeclarations:        AcrossEmptyLinesAndComments

since otherwise clang-format will indent the function names for most
of a header file like so, which imo just wastes horizontal space:
> /** <docs> */
> int          av_foo();
>
> /** <docs> */
> int          av_bar();
>
> /** <docs> */
> LongTypeName av_baz();
