[cfe-dev] [clang-tidy][RFC] Proposal: enable globbing in NOLINT expressions

[Carlos Galvez via cfe-dev]

Hi,

Currently it's annoying or sometimes impossible (due to line length limit)
to accurately inline-suppress clang-tidy warnings. For example:

//
NOLINT(cppcoreguidelines-non-private-member-variables-in-classes,misc-non-private-member-variables-in-classes)

This is not an uncommon case of someone enabling both a "coding guideline"
module and "best practices" module.

The solution turns into a very bad practice, which is disabling *all* warnings,
potentially hiding additional bugs:

// NOLINT

Proposal: support globbing for NOLINT expressions, with the same
format/semantics as when enabling/disabling checks:

// NOLINT(*-non-private-member-variables-in-classes)

What do you think?

/Carlos
