Summary

As noted in https://reviews.llvm.org/D93459, the formatting of
multi-line descriptions of clEnumValN and the likes is unfavorable.
Thus this patch adds support for correctly indenting these.

Fix naming to make clang-tidy happy.

Happy new year's ping :)

Would be good to have a test entry for that new pretty printer . That would also make the review easier ;-)

Add print option info test for multiline value descriptions.

Given the awful formatting in clang-format is merged in release/12.x, would be great to get this in, before 12.0.0 final.. :)

It might causes assertion failure when a name in enum is long.
Reproducible with clang-scan-deps -help

llvm/lib/Support/CommandLine.cpp

This is not reflected to MaxWidth.

Could we adjust it with ValHelpPrefix?

mhh... I'd just say the assert was wrong.
The BaseIndent is the maximum width of an option. e.g. --compilation-database=<string>.
printEnumValHelpStr does not deal with that part at all, only with the help string that comes after that (e.g. This is the first enum value\nwhich has a really long description\nthus it is multi-line.).
For nice formatting in the first line - and are prepended for the enum values in the first line and later BaseIndent + are used for the indent.
What the assert should have verified is only that BaseIndent >= FirstLineIndentedBy so that we can later have the indent: BaseIndent - FirstLineIndentedBy and be sure it's >=0.
(and that really should always be true..)

So I will just adapt the assert..
