clang-tidy docker image for Mesos

This repository contains a docker image to run clang-tidy checks over a Mesos repository. It uses a version of clang-tidy augmented with Mesos-specific checks.

Running checks

To run checks over a Mesos checkout invoke

$ docker run \
    -v <MESOS_CHECKOUT>:/SRC \
    -v <RESULT_DIR>:/OUT \
    [-e CHECKS=<CHECKS>] \
    [-e CONFIGURE_FLAGS=<CONFIGURE_FLAGS>] \
    --rm \
    mesos-tidy

Here MESOS_CHECKOUT points to a git checkout of the Mesos source tree, and RESULT_DIR is directory to store result.

Additional configure parameters can be passed to the ./configure invocation for Mesos via CONFIGURE_FLAGS. By default, ./configure will be invoked without arguments.

Optionally, the set of checks to perform can be specified in a clang-tidy check regex via CHECKS. By default, only Mesos-specific checks will be performed, i.e., the default value for CHECKS is -*,mesos-*.

Results from 3rdparty dependencies are filtered from the result set.

Building the docker image

To building the image involves compiling a Mesos-flavored version of clang-tidy, installing Mesos dependencies, and installation of tools to drive check invocations.

The image can be built with

$ docker build -t mesos-tidy .
