Description Ivan Bow CLA 2019-05-05 16:57:16 EDT 
In the C/C++ formatter, there are settings that are not working properly, and settings that need to be added in order to use Eclipse with my work.  The buggy settings are when function arguments is set to when necessary all but the first element, with column indentation.  This setting does not put every element on a new line when it gets wrapped.  Instead, I must use the "Force Split" option to get this to work properly.  The following is the part I need for my workplace code compliance:

Old:
a = 	var_1
	+ var_2
	+ var3;
b = var_1
	| var_2
	| var_3;
	
New:
a =	var_1 +
		var_2 +
		var_3;
b = 	var_1 |
		var_2 |
		var_3;
		
This style is required by my company for code formatting compliance and consistency.
