Is there any package for automatically insert spaces in c++ code?
reddit / emacs

I love automatic indentation (M-x indent region), however I usually
forget to leave spaces around the operators (let's say a=b+c). or
after commas (let's say f(1,2)  Is there some package that gives a
command to  format the above expressions to a = b + c  and f(1, 2) ?

I use formatters in order to automatically format source code on save.
Personally I use [apheleia](https://github.com/raxod502/apheleia) for
this. It requires clang-tools installed as it uses clang formatter.

Take a look at [electric-
operator](https://github.com/davidshepherd7/electric-operator)

Look for a package that uses clang-tidy

I usually use `clangd` as my LSP and calling either lsp-buffer-format
or eglot-format on before-save-hook will do edits to make code pretty.
You can also use clang-format package available on MELPA but clangd
itself relies on clang-format to format you code.
