[cfe-dev] Error while trying to load a compilation database:

[Kirill Bobyrev via cfe-dev]

Hi,

Please, provide more datailed explanation of your issue. Which one of the
following is it?

a) You have a compilation database in place and clang-tidy does not detect
it.
b) You don't have a compilation database.

If it's b) you obviously can get rid of this error by getting a compilation
database (on how to refer to Running Clang Tidy on LLVM
<http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/#running-clang-tidy-on-llvm>).

Generally you might not always want to have a compilation database if your
goal is just to analyze a single source file: this error doesn't prevent
clang-tidy from inspecting the provided sourcefile, so you'll still get
your diagnostics even if no compilation database is up.

Hope this helps,
Kirill Bobyrev
