Whats the best way to clang-format a C/C++/GLSL a buffer on save, that does nothing in the case there is no clang-format file found for a project?

Install the clang-format package and add the following hooks to your emacs init:
(defun clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer ()
"Create a buffer local save hook."
(add-hook 'before-save-hook
(lambda ()
(progn
(when (locate-dominating-file "." ".clang-format")
(clang-format-buffer))
;; Continue to save.
nil))
nil
;; Buffer local hook.
t))
;; Run this for each mode you want to use the hook.
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda () (clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer))
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook (lambda () (clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer))
(add-hook 'glsl-mode-hook (lambda () (clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer))

For some reason this cases my file to be impossible to save even though it gets formatted. – Martin May 21 '19 at 4:15

Fixed, the function needed to evaluate to
nil, also only run when.clang-formatfile is found. – ideasman42 Jun 24 '19 at 2:36 -
Thanks for showing us
locate-dominating-file. Would be helpful withflycheck,lsp-mode, etc. where the notion of a project is needed. – legends2k Dec 12 '19 at 11:01
