Your patch contains at least one typo in line 110: parentheses should be parenthesis

or also include age (via as st->Get(3,...)) in the results. Sorry I mixed this up: I actually meant via st->Get(1,...) in the parenthesized code.

Will --pad-negation be just a flag or will we have different settings to get !, _!, !_, or _!_ ... I admit this might be overkill ...

Thanks for the reply which opened my eyes about the second case: typedef can indeed be “chained”, and I overlooked this because I'm mostly working in C++ where struct always introduces a type (no typedef needed) and references and smart pointers make pointer types disappear in the code base. So, the issue can be refined to something like: the option --align-pointer=type should only be applied to cases where pointer type and name are present around the * (the same would apply to --align-reference=type...

I would suggest that you reconsider this issue carefully. In my opinion, the style of formatting you want to preserve is extremely confusing. It puts you right between two common conventions: Always having the asterisk next to the name, so pointers are easy to recognize on a line with multiple variable declarations. Here the option --align-pointer=name makes the most sense. To have the asterisk next to the type because you always declare variables line by line anyway. In this context --align-pointer=type...
