Fixes #2324
Looking for some feedback on what to name the new option I've added for the clang-tidy linter. I've just used
g:ale_c(pp)_clangtidy_extra_options
as a temporary placeholder for now. This new setting can be used to configure clang-tidy specific settings unlike the existing options which can only configure compiler flags.Ideally (IMO), the existing
g:ale_c(pp)_clangtidy_options
name would be repurposed for the new setting and the existing setting would be renamed tog:ale_c(pp)_clangtidy_compiler_options
or something similar. This would more accurately reflect what each setting is actually used for. That would be a breaking change for existing users though so finding a better name for the new setting is probably the better option.
