Thanks, that page looks like hell, but I recognise a few terms.
http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/ http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/ is much more approachable, and gives a solid overview.
The introductory sentence gave me project-naming cancer:
> clang-tidy is a clang-based C++ “linter” tool.
Then why is it called tidy ??? It appears first on page three of google's search results for "C++ linter" in spite of the fact that anything from LLVM is probably a) current and b) of exceptional quality.
A little marketing-mindset would go a long, long way for these kinds of things.
Whilst the Ruby community lead by the example of DHH often takes this concept too far, it is inarguably effective.

- andystanton 10y agoIt's also a (possibly unintentional) play on the British slang term "bang tidy" http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/bang-tidy http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/bang-tid...
