NAME
clang-tidy - manual page for clang-tidy 3.6
DESCRIPTION
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot-sysv.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object
file): ignored. USAGE: clang-tidy [options] <source0> [... <sourceN>]
OPTIONS:
General 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 read from a
.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
should 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.
-enable-check-profile - Enable per-check timing profiles, and print a report to stderr.
-export-fixes=<filename> - YAML file to store suggested fixes in. The
stored fixes can be applied to the input source 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 value read
from a .clang-tidy file.
-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.
-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'
HeaderFilterRegex: '' AnalyzeTemporaryDtors: false User: user CheckOptions:
- key: some-check.SomeOption
value: 'some value'
...
