How to integrate clang-tidy with CMake (<LANG> _CLANG_TIDY) and MSVC?

Question

How to pass a flag clang, for example, -fms-compatibility-versionwith CMake ? On the CLI, this is easy: <LANG>_CLANG_TIDY <LANG>_CLANG_TIDY

clang-tidy main.cpp -- -fms-compatibility-version=19.10

But with CMake, this does not work as expected:

-DCMAKE_CXX_CLANG_TIDY="clang-tidy;-checks=-*,readability-*;--;-fms-compatibility-version=19.10"

The flag is required to work clangwith modern versions of MSVC.

If this is not possible; Is there any other way to integrate CMake + MSVC + clang-tidy (besides creating a custom build target)?

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2017 15.6.3 (be sure to update) here.

I had to put

set(CMAKE_CXX_CLANG_TIDY "clang-tidy;-format-style='file'")

# CMake is buggy. It gives the -std:c++14 instead of /std:c++14
# set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /std:c++14")

In mine CMakeLists.txt. I do not know whether to do it correctly, but I can compile AND detect errors. It seems to me a victory.
