clang-tidy loading more checkers from an external library/plugin?

Clang Frontend
#1

Hi!

There is clang-tidy, which is nice and cool. Now, there is also clazy

  https://github.com/KDE/clazy

, which includes great checks for Qt code and is implemented as a clang plugin (and also as a standalone tool).

Since clazy is a clang plugin, can clang-tidy use that so that diagnostics/fixits generated by the clazy plugin will be emitted through clang-tidy? Having that, only one tool needs to be run :slight_smile:

If not, what would be needed to make this work?

This is https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=32739 .

Thanks for bringing this up in the ML Nikolai.

Sooner or later this will have to happen, as the current architecture doesn't scale with N vendors.
Doesn't make sense for me to get google checks (or other vendor) when cloning tidy.
