[cfe-dev] How to run/create tests for a clang-tidy check

I recommend using the script  llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra/clang-tidy/add_new_check.py

$ python add_new_check.py misc awesome-functions

This will add a "awesome-functions" checker in the misc module. A testfile is added also.

I don't know if there is such a list for clang-tidy. I have seen such a list for the static analyser.
