This has generally nothing to do with the command line parsing.

You need to give the ClangTool a CompilationDatabase. The
CommonOptionsParser happens to implement a strategy where it:
a) tries to load a FixedCompilationDatabase when you specify args after --
on the command line
b) tries to auto-detect the compilation database from the path specified
via -p
c) tries to auto-detect the compilation database from the first source file
specified on the command line

Cheers,
