[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Your help needed: List of LLVM Open Projects 2017

[Piotr Padlewski via cfe-dev]

The list can't ommit clang-tidy.
There are many ideas about new checks on llvm bugzilla.
https://llvm.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=clang-tools-extra&component=clang-tidy&resolution=---&list_id=110936
Everything matching ".*Feature Request.*"
