Hi,
please welcome the third release of the Clang-Tidy integration plugin for
KDevelop ( https://commits.kde.org/kdev-clang-tidy ).
The plugin provides some very basic features for the start:
* running clang-tidy on a single file, subdirectories or the whole project,
with the result shown in the Problems tool view,
invokable from file context menus and main menu (Analyzer section)
* per-project config UI:
* free field for additional command line parameters to clang-tidy
* checkbox whether to include system headers in the check
* toggle between using .clang-tidy files or options in the config UI:
* header filter regular expression
* opt-in list of checks
See also https://frinring.wordpress.com/2018/08/30/improve-your-cpp-code-in-kdevelop-with-clang-tidy//
This is the third of a quick series of releases following the often-
and-early mantra, giving users already access to what is working now and
allowing them to take part in the feedback loop while extending the
functionality.
NOTE FOR USERS:
Be aware that for now one has to enable the creation of the compilation
database oneself, e.g. with CMake to set the flag
CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS to ON
in the settings (listed under "Advanced values" in the project CMake settings
in KDevelop). The plugin does not (yet) handle that for you.
NOTE FOR PACKAGERS:
The sources of this plugin build against the current stable KDevelop version,
5.2, upcoming stable 5.3 and also master branch. Though will only work with
the version built against (5.2, 5.3 or master).
Also set the CMake flag -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF if kdevelop is built with that.
Best create packages like you do for the tarballs of other separate KDevelop
plugins, like kdev-python & kdev-php (which are released in the KDevelop
release bundle).
Changes since 0.2.0:
* support for running clang-tidy also on more than one file,
either subdirs or the whole project (using parallel jobs optionally)

Bug reports & feature requests:
https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?
format=guided&product=kdevelop&component=Analyzer:%20Clang-Tidy
More info:
Planned features (in rough order of execution):
* warning about missing compilation database
* support for fix-its
* globally defined sets of checks, for reuse between projects and use for
specific code analyze work
* folder-specific clang-tidy settings
* being an editor for .clang-tidy files, for seamless integration between
IDE-based and console-based usage of clang-tidy
* enabling the generation of compilation database by simple button when needed
Long term the kdev-clang-tidy plugin should be added to the kdevelop repo, as
planned before (cmp. https://www.kdevelop.org/news/kdevelop-510-released ).
Currently scheduled to happen for KDevelop 5.4.
Even better though would be somebody implementing integration of this and
other clang-based analyzers directly with the clang-parser of the clang
language plugin, so any warnings and fix-its are delivered as part of the
normal editing. Though this might be more challenging, so the current explicit
analyzer plugins serve as intermediate utilities.
Cheers
Friedrich
