Auto indentation inside two parenthesis - Vim

I want vim to auto indent like this

int function_that_takes_long_arguments(long_argument_1,|
                                                       ^
                                              This is the cursor.

Press enter

int function_that_takes_long_arguments(long_argument_1,<enter>
>   >   >   >   >   >   >   >   >   ...|);
    ^                                ^ ^
(tab - 4 spaces)                     | |
                 (Add spaces to align) |
                      (I want the cursor to auto indent here)

Start writing other arguments

int function_that_takes_long_arguments(long_argument_1,<enter>
>   >   >   >   >   >   >   >   >   ...long_argument_2,<enter>
>   >   >   >   >   >   >   >   >   ...long_argument_3);

Another Example:

void function(argument_1, argument_2, argument_3,<enter>
>   >   >   ..argument_4, argument_5);

Indenting in C/C++ files is typically managed by internal routine (see also :h C-indenting). The supported options are explained in detail under :h cinoptions-values.

So assuming you have setlocal cindent in the current buffer (including simply filetype indent on which sets cindent for a few filetypes/extensions automatically), it's enough to do usual

~.vim/after/indent/c.vim

setlocal cinoptions=(0
