[cfe-dev] How to verify clang-tidy checks applied to headers?

[Jonas Toth via cfe-dev]

Hi,

did you try something similar to `// RUN: clang-tidy -checks='-*,
abseil-no-namespace' -header-filter='.*' %s -- -I %S/Inputs 2>&1 |
FileCheck %s`?

This pattern occurs multiple times in the test-framework: `git grep "|
FileCheck" *.cpp` shows quite a view places, maybe there are other
places that are more specific to your requirement?


Best, Jonas
