Research direction

Start by locating the XcodeClangFormat integration that selects or bundles clang-format, then investigate the SpaceBeforeParensOptions parsing failure with clang-format 14. Done means custom styles using that option are accepted in Xcode; no files or tests are named in the issue.

Description

Hi, thanks for this very useful tool!

I'm trying to use SpaceBeforeParensOptions in my custom format file, which is essential if I want to abide by JUCE coding standards. But Xcode tells me:

Could not parse custom style: Invalid argument.

I assume this is because Clang Format 14 is not supported. Are there any plans to implement this? Is it just a matter of getting this to compile with v14?
