I found solution to this issue.
My error message was a little bit different(number_error_message) so, I am not sure if this will help.

Reason:
I found that clang_format.vim(plugin) search for .clang-format in your system, So it give error when there is no .clang-format file
Or
In my case .clang-format file had error which lead to this error.

Solution:
Firstly clang-format needs a config file called .clang-format .
Which i recommend you to create in home directory.

mkdir ~/.clang-format

Then you can copy example config from official website.

# We'll use defaults from the LLVM style, but with 4 columns indentation.

# Force pointers to the type for C++.

Language: Proto
# Don't format .proto files.
DisableFormat: true

# Use 100 columns for C#.
ColumnLimit: 100
...

I recommend configuring things yourself but you can just use example config.

After that check for any error in .clang-format file by typing given command in terminal.
clang-format -dump-config
If there are no errors in output you are good to go, however if there are errors you will have resolve them in .clang-format,
I recommend using official documentation on style options as a reference.

Edit: Also you should keep .clang-format in home directory so that its globally accessable.

Checkout clang-format documentation here.
