Enable static analyzer¶
Install the latest version of clang-tidy
For older versions of Ubuntu
If you are using older version of Ubuntu (e.g. via Krita Docker build environment) make sure that you added the backports repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/llvm-defaults-11 sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install clang-11 clang-format-11 clang-tidy-11 clang-tools-11
Go to the Analyser settings in QtCreator (Options->Analyser)
In the field for Clang-Tidy executable select the script from Krita source tree sdk/clang-tidy-arguments-wrapper.sh. This script removes GCC-specific compile options not supported by clang. Without the wrapper script the analyser tool will fail.
Open „Diagnostic Configuration” dialog. Duplicate the default configuration, switch to „Clang-Tidy Checks” tab and choose „Use .clang-tidy config file”
In the „Project Settings” pane make sure that your new Diagnostic Configuration is activated.
Start analysing by clicking on Analyze->Clang Tidy and Clazy…
