✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, this is the manual page for clang-reorder-fields — the little clang tool that ✨reorders fields✨ in your C/C++ structs and classes. she's version 21, she's iconic, she's here 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

OVERVIEW: a tool to reorder fields in C/C++ structs/classes. that's it, that's the whole vibe — you tell it the order you want, it goes in and rearranges the fields for you. genuinely so satisfying 🎀

USAGE:

clang-reorder-fields [options] <source0> [... <sourceN>]

so you pass in one or more source files — <source0> and then as many more as you want, all the way up to <sourceN> 🦋 — plus whatever options you're feeling.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💖 Generic Options 💖

these are the basics, the little starter pack, the everything-everywhere options:

  • --help — shows you all the available options. and if you're nosy (respectfully) there's --help-hidden for even more 👀
  • --help-list — prints out the list of available options. same deal: --help-list-hidden for the extra-secret ones 🙈
  • --version — tells you which version of this program you're running. spoiler: it's 21 ⭐

🦋 clang-reorder-fields options 🦋

the main-character options, the ones that actually do the reordering thing:

  • --extra-arg=<string> — an extra argument that gets appended to the compiler command line 🔥
  • --extra-arg-before=<string> — an extra argument that gets prepended to the compiler command line 🔥 (yes, the order difference is literally the whole point)
  • --fields-order=<string> — the desired fields order. this is the one, this is the moment, you type in the order you want and she delivers 💅
  • -i — overwrite edited files. so like, she edits them in place. no backup copy, no undo button, no take-backsies 😭 (so maybe know what you're doing first, bestie)
  • -p <string> — build path 📁
  • --record-name=<string> — the name of the struct/class. you gotta tell her which one to reorganize, she's not a mind reader 🫶

and that's the whole page, no cap. slay, go reorder some fields, you absolute icon 👑✨

this manual page is for clang-reorder-fields version 21, dated September 2026 — mwah, kisses, see u next release 🎀💖
