When I performed the mass reformatting of C++ files in this repo, I first ran clang-format with an 80 char line limit which split comment lines. Then I ran it again with a 100 char line limit but the comments stayed split at 80 chars. It seems clang-format doesn't "reflow" comments if the limit is increased. To repair this, I used a script to merge sequential comment lines into single lines and then used clang-format to reformat all the files again. This properly split the comments at 100 chars. I also manually cleaned up some comments that weren't quite right.
