I'm running clang-tidy with the following command:
run-clang-tidy.py -checks="-*,cppcoreguidelines-*,hicpps-*" -header-filter=".*" -fix"
(or clang-tidy -checks="-*,cppcoreguidelines-*,hicpps-*" -header-filter=".*" -fix" also works)
This returns a lot of errors. It also says applying fixes... in the terminal since I added the -fix option.
My problem is that for the cppcoreguidelines-* and hicpps-* fixes are not applied, only shown. Does the checks that I have choose not to support fixing my 1000 problems?
You should use the -fix-errors option instead of just -fix. The latter will not apply any fixes if compiler errors are present.
See the clang-tidy documentation:
-fix -
Apply suggested fixes. Without -fix-errors
clang-tidy will bail out if any compilation
errors were found.
-fix-errors -
Apply suggested fixes even if compilation
errors were found. If compiler errors have
attached fix-its, clang-tidy will apply them as
well.
