[cfe-dev] Libclang static analyzer

[Fredrik Ehnbom]

Great, I didn't know that.

Is there anyway to get libclang to spit out a plist or get the
diagnostics via the libclang api though? On the *nixes it's not a big
problem, but on Windows libclang.dll is much easier to ship with the
plugin compared to requiring users to install the full clang
distribution.

Thanks
