<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am studying Clang for an academic project. I am using Clang from Windows. I was able to build it with MSVS 2013. I am using MinGW and msys shell to run the Clang tools from the command line.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As a trial, I gave a path input to clang-tidy tool - </p>
<p> clang-tidy ../<path>/*.cpp -checks="readability-braces-around-statements" --<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It is interesting that the tool was able to handle this without compilation database (Note --).</p>
<p>To see how this input is handled by 'CommonOptionsParser', I gave the same input through Visual Studio debugger in my clang build. However, the tool throws an error for the argument '/path/*.cpp'.</p>
<p>In general, how do clang tools handle such 'SourcePath' input?</p>

<div>The difference between the above two scenarios is probably the msys shell -- when a unix-like shell processes a command with wildcards in an argument, it performs path expansion on that argument (looking up files matching the pattern and converting the
argument into a sequence of filenames). When you give the same wildcard pattern directly to the tool's argv, this will not typically happen.</div>

<div>Which build system are you using? The Visual Studio one? I think it has xml files, which you could parse with python to generate the compile_commands.json?</div>
