I'm trying to set up clang-tidy for a project. I'd like to be able to have clean output, and encourage the use of -fix mode where possible. However, there are individual cases where an exception is needed.
Much as it is possible to use
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wreserved-id-macro"
// Code that is being specially exempted
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
for the equivalent case where one wants to locally disable a compiler warning, is it possible to do something similar from clang-tidy?
I have tried
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "readability-identifier-naming"
// Code that is being specially exempted
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
and also with clang replaced with clang-tidy. Unfortunately when using clang as the pragma target and compiling with regular clang, I get the compilation warning
warning: pragma diagnostic expected option name (e.g. "-Wundef") [-Wunknown-pragmas]
and
warning: unknown pragma ignored [clang-diagnostic-unknown-pragmas]
when compiling if I use clang-tidy in place of clang. Neither make an impact on what clang-tidy itself outputs when run over the source.
This is with clang and clang-tidy 3.8 on x86_64 Linux.
Just add a comment containing the string NOLINT anywhere on the line you want clang-tidy to ignore. For example:
badcode; // NOLINT
// NOLINTNEXTLINE
badcode;
// NOLINTBEGIN
badcode;
badcode;
// NOLINTEND
badcode; // NOLINT(cert-err-58-cpp)
