[cfe-dev] Run clang on multiple source files specified by wild card

[Jordan Rose]

Hi, Sujit. The recommended way of running the static analyzer is by using scan-build to wrap your regular command-line build system. (See http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/scan-build.html) With scan-build, you do get a summary page (though in HTML format rather than XML, alas).

If you don't have a build system to wrap, I'd /still/ suggest using scan-build. The page I linked above has this example:

> scan-build cc -c t1.c t2.c


As for wildcard matching, while Clang won't expand the wildcard, your shell will. As long as you're running the command in a shell, using an asterisk (star) should work just fine.

Does that solve your problems?
