[cfe-dev] clang-tidy artefacts in clang distribution

[Dmitry Polukhin via cfe-dev]

Hi all,

I found strange thing with clang-tidy in official clang release. Bunch of
libraries from clang-tidy are included in official releases. But
corresponding header files are not so it looks like these libraries are
completely unusable. Is there a reason for this?

I think having clang-tidy available in libraries + headers for building own
clang-tidy like tools is convenient for separating checks from upstream and
private ones.

List of libraries in official clang 9 destitution:
lib/libclangTidyMPIModule.a
lib/libclangTidyPlugin.a
lib/libclangTidyBoostModule.a
lib/libclangTidyCERTModule.a
lib/libclangTidyAndroidModule.a

lib/libclangTidyUtils.a
