NAME

       clang-tidy - manual page for clang-tidy 3.9

DESCRIPTION

       USAGE: clang-tidy [subcommand] [options] <source0> [... <sourceN>]

       OPTIONS:

       Generic Options:

       -help                        - Display available options (-help-hidden for more)

       -help-list                    -  Display  list of available options (-help-list-hidden for
              more)

       -version                     - Display the version of this program

       clang-tidy options:

       -analyze-temporary-dtors     -
              Enable temporary destructor-aware analysis in clang-analyzer- checks.  This  option
              overrides the value read from a .clang-tidy file.

       -checks=<string>             -
              Comma-separated  list  of  globs  with  optional '-' prefix. Globs are processed in
              order of appearance in the list. Globs without '-' prefix add checks with  matching
              names  to the set, globs with the '-' prefix remove checks with matching names from
              the set of enabled checks.  This option's value is appended to  the  value  of  the
              'Checks' option in .clang-tidy file, if any.

       -config=<string>             -
              Specifies a configuration in YAML/JSON format:

       -config="{Checks: '*',
              CheckOptions: [{key: x,

       value: y}]}"
              When  the  value is empty, clang-tidy will attempt to find a file named .clang-tidy
              for each source file in its parent directories.

       -dump-config                 -
              Dumps configuration in the YAML format to stdout. This option  can  be  used  along
              with  a  file  name  (and  '--' if the file is outside of a project with configured
              compilation database).  The configuration used for this file will be printed.   Use
              along with -checks=* to include configuration of all checks.

       -enable-check-profile        -
              Enable per-check timing profiles, and print a report to stderr.

       -explain-config              -
              for  each  enabled  check explains, where it is enabled, i.e. in clang-tidy binary,
              command line or a specific configuration file.

       -export-fixes=<filename>     -
              YAML file to store suggested fixes in. The stored fixes can be applied to the input
              sorce code with clang-apply-replacements.

       -extra-arg=<string>          - Additional argument to append to the compiler command line

       -extra-arg-before=<string>   - Additional argument to prepend to the compiler command line

       -fix                         -
              Apply  suggested  fixes.  Without  -fix-errors  clang-tidy  will  bail  out  if any
              compilation errors were found.

       -fix-errors                  -
              Apply suggested fixes even if compilation errors were  found.  If  compiler  errors
              have attached fix-its, clang-tidy will apply them as well.

       -header-filter=<string>      -
              Regular  expression  matching  the names of the headers to output diagnostics from.
              Diagnostics from the main file of each translation unit are always displayed.   Can
              be  used  together  with  -line-filter.   This  option overrides the 'HeaderFilter'
              option in .clang-tidy file, if any.

       -line-filter=<string>        -
              List of files with line ranges to filter the warnings. Can be  used  together  with
              -header-filter. The format of the list is a JSON array of objects:

       [      {"name":"file1.cpp","lines":[[1,3],[5,7]]}, {"name":"file2.h"}

              ]

       -list-checks                 -
              List all enabled checks and exit. Use with -checks=* to list all available checks.

       -p=<string>                  - Build path

       -system-headers              - Display the errors from system headers.

       -warnings-as-errors=<string> -
              Upgrades  warnings  to  errors.  Same  format as '-checks'.  This option's value is
              appended to the value of the 'WarningsAsErrors' option in .clang-tidy file, if any.

       -p <build-path> is used to read a compile command database.

              For  example,  it  can  be  a  CMake  build  directory  in  which  a   file   named
              compile_commands.json  exists  (use -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON CMake option
              to  get  this  output).  When  no  build  path   is   specified,   a   search   for
              compile_commands.json will be attempted through all parent paths of the first input
              file . See: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html for an example
              of setting up Clang Tooling on a source tree.

       <source0> ... specify the paths of source files. These paths are

              looked  up  in  the compile command database. If the path of a file is absolute, it
              needs to point into CMake's source tree. If  the  path  is  relative,  the  current
              working  directory  needs  to be in the CMake source tree and the file must be in a
              subdirectory of the current working directory. "./" prefixes in the relative  files
              will  be automatically removed, but the rest of a relative path must be a suffix of
              a path in the compile command database.

   Configuration files:
              clang-tidy attempts to read configuration for each source file from  a  .clang-tidy
              file  located  in  the  closest  parent  directory  of  the  source  file.  If  any
              configuration options have a corresponding command-line option, command-line option
              takes precedence. The effective configuration can be inspected using -dump-config:

              $ clang-tidy -dump-config - --

       ---

       Checks:
              '-*,some-check'

              WarningsAsErrors:  ''  HeaderFilterRegex:  ''  AnalyzeTemporaryDtors:  false  User:
              user CheckOptions:

       - key: some-check.SomeOption

       value: 'some value'
