The current Clang-Format does not allow users to choose how they many blank lines after a new block to leave. It strips all blank lines.

This is controlled by KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks.

Users would like to be able to write something like this

void foo() {

    // do nothing
}

if (true) {

    // do nothing
}

Today, both look like this

if (true) {
    // do nothing
}
