[cfe-users] Redirecting clang tooling errors

[Lucas Soltic via cfe-users]

Hello,

I am trying to redirect the output emitted when running a tool through clang::tooling::runToolOnCode() to a buffer or string instead of stderr (llvm::errs()). I'm using clangTooling from release 3.9.

When looking at clangTooling code and following the execution flow, I have found the following:
clang::tooling::runToolOnCode()
calls clang::tooling::runToolOnCodeWithArgs()
which calls clang::tooling::ToolInvocation::run()
which contains the following :
TextDiagnosticPrinter DiagnosticPrinter(llvm::errs(), &*DiagOpts);
DiagnosticsEngine Diagnostics(
    IntrusiveRefCntPtr<clang::DiagnosticIDs>(new DiagnosticIDs()), &*DiagOpts,
    DiagConsumer ? DiagConsumer : &DiagnosticPrinter, false);

So at this point I guess I'm stuck because everything is redirected to stderr…
Did I miss something or is there really this limitation?

I also thought of redirecting stderr to somewhere else but… I can't see how it will fit my needs as in the end I want to call clang::tooling::runToolOnCode() on different files in parallel, all of it in the same process ; so I'll get stderr mixed with output from several executions. The best solution would obviously being able to provide the DiagnosticConsumer but at the moment everything looks hardcoded.


Best regards,
L. Soltic
