A plugin for KDevelop to support Clang-Tidy static analysis.
The last stand-alone release is 0.3.3.
NOTE: Since then kdev-clang-tidy has been moved into kdevelop.git:plugins/clangtidy and will be released as part of KDevelop, starting with KDevelop 5.4.
Search the package manager of your Linux distribution or *BSD system for it (e.g. kdevelop-clang-tidy or kdev-clang-tidy):
- Arch Linux: kdevelop-clang-tidy
- Gentoo: kdevelop-clang-tidy
- openSUSE: kdevelop5-plugin-clang-tidy
- (please report the name in your package system/distribution, so it can be listed here).
Or try to install it via its AppStream Id Link
Once installed, open the global KDevelop settings: ensure in the "Plugins" page that the "Clang-Tidy Support" plugin is enabled, then in the "Analyzers"/"Clang-Tidy" page make sure the clang-tidy executable path points to an existing executable.
Next open the configuration dialog for a project and check the settings in the "Clang-Tidy" page.
Then open a C++ source file of your project. Now invoke a run of clang-tidy either via the main menu "Code"/"Analyze Current File With"/"Analyze Current File With Clang-Tidy" or via the context menu on the file "Analyze Current File With"/"Clang-Tidy". A job should be started and, once finished, the "Problems" tool view should show up with the page "Clang-Tidy" selected, listing the result of the run.
NOTE:
For now one has to enable oneself the creation of the so-called compilation database which clang-tidy uses, e.g. with CMake to set the flag CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS to ON
in the settings (listed under "Advanced values" in the project's CMake settings in KDevelop). The plugin does not (yet) handle that for you.
