[cfe-users] How to get more useful chain of reasoning from scan-build?

[Rainer Gerhards]

You can get that with scan-view. Look at the last few lines of your
build, it should tell you the exact command to use (at least mine
does). I hope I am not overlooking something as I am myself fairly new
to clang ... but really like it.
