Format Curly Braces on End Previous Line in C++ VSCode

Question

Currently, I have the setting "C_Cpp.clang_format_formatOnSave" set to true.

This format's my code when I save my C++ file. But the format results in curly braces on new lines rather than on the same line.

Current C++ VSCode Formatted

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    // ...
}

What I Want C++ VSCode Formatted Code to Look Like

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    // ...  }

How can I make curly braces in C++ format on end of the previous line in Visual Studio Code?

Not the same question as Format Curly Braces on Same Line in C++ VSCode.

Getting the opening curly brace at the end of the `for` line shouldn't be a problem but you also show that the closing brace should be at the end of the last line in the brace enclosed block. I doubt there's a `clang-format` setting for that since it's a rather unconventional place to put it. — Ted Lyngmo, May 30 '23 at 15:06

Astyle found from @mmj's comment to 'How to make clang-format keep closing braces on same line'.
