clang-tools 0.13.1

Description:

clangtools 0.13.1

Install clang-format, clang-tidy, clang-query, and clang-apply-replacements binaries with clang-tools CLI.


Important
This package only manages binary executables (& corresponding symbolic links) that
are installed using this package’s executable script. It does not intend to change or
modify any binary executable installed from other sources (like LLVM releases).


Features

Binaries are statically linked for improved portability.
Binaries can be specified installed for increased flexibility.
Binaries are checked with SHA512 checksum. This ensures:

Downloads are not corrupted.
Old binary builds can be updated.


Installed binaries are symbolically linked for better cross-platform usage.
For example (on Windows), the clang-tidy-13.exe binary executable can
also be invoked with the symbolic link titled clang-tidy.exe

Note
To create symbolic links on Windows, you must enable developer mode
from the Windows settings under “Privacy & security” > “For developers”
category.


Customizable install path.



Install clang-tools CLI

Tip
It is recommended to use this package in a virtual environment.
# create the virtual env in the working directory
python -m venv env-name

# to activate on Linux:
source env-name/bin/activate

# to activate on Windows:

the installed path (for MacOS and Windows) is within the environment’s
variable PATH.

Thanks to the project

We now used the fork repository
that fixed the clang-tidy v14+ Segmentation fault (core dumped). see #56 for details.
