.. important:: This package only manages binary executables (& corresponding symbolic links) that are installed using this package's executable script. It does not intend to change or modify any binary executable installed from other sources (like LLVM releases).

Features

• Binaries are statically linked for improved portability.

• Binaries can be specified installed for increased flexibility.

• Binaries are checked with SHA512 checksum. This ensures:

  1. Downloads are not corrupted.
  2. Old binary builds can be updated.

• Installed binaries are symbolically linked for better cross-platform usage. For example (on Windows), the clang-tidy-13.exe binary executable can also be invoked with the symbolic link titled clang-tidy.exe

  .. note:: To create symbolic links on Windows, you must enable developer mode from the Windows settings under "Privacy & security" > "For developers" category.

• Customizable install path.

Install clang-tools CLI

.. tip:: It is recommended to use this package in a virtual environment.

.. code-block:: bash

    # create the virtual env in the working directory
    python -m venv env-name

    # to activate on Linux:
    source env-name/bin/activate

    # to activate on Windows:
    ./env-name/Scripts/activate

This will ensure that

1. there are no permission problems when installing the tool
2. the installed path (for MacOS and Windows) is within the environment's
   variable ``PATH``.

Thanks to the project clang-tools-static-binaries <https://github.com/muttleyxd/clang-tools-static-binaries>. We now used the fork repository <https://github.com/cpp-linter/clang-tools-static-binaries> that fixed the clang-tidy v14+ Segmentation fault (core dumped). see #56 <https://github.com/cpp-linter/clang-tools-pip/issues/56>_ for details.
