Hi,
please welcome the initial 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, with result shown in Problems toolview,
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
This should be the first 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 (and also master). Though will only work with the version built against
(5.2 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).

More info:
Planned features (in rough order of execution):
* tree-like display of checks in the config UI, to allow selection of groups
(matching the wildcard/masking logic of the clang-tidy -checks= parameter)
* warning about missing compilation database
* support for fix-its
* running on more than one file, e.g. the whole project
* 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 ).
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
