| 6 | |
| 7 | [clang-tidy](http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/) is a clang-based C++ |
| 8 | “linter” tool. Its purpose is to provide an extensible framework for diagnosing |
| 9 | and fixing typical programming errors, like style violations, interface misuse, |
| 10 | or bugs that can be deduced via static analysis. |

| George Burgess IV | 288fcf5 | 2019-12-18 02:19:46 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | - In Chromium checkouts |
| 17 | - In code review on Gerrit |

| George Burgess IV | 288fcf5 | 2019-12-18 02:19:46 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | Clang-tidy automatically runs on any CL that Chromium committers upload to |
| 20 | Gerrit, and will leave code review comments there. This is the recommended way |
| 21 | of using clang-tidy. |
