When I invoke clang-format with the same command-line plus -i to edit the file in place, it works as expected and the line endings are converted to CRLF. So this behavior is specific to how clang-format is integrated in VS Code.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thank you for letting us know about this issue, the current workaround would be to use VS Code's internal support for changing line endings.

  1. There is a setting you can toggle to choose a specific line ending you want to use in future files

  2. There is a command you can access in the editor status bar that will change all of the line endings in a file from LF to CRLF for any active file. You can find this icon in the bottom right of your editor:
