Improve your code with Clang Tooling
summary
Practical workflows for using Clang tooling to find and fix real C++ issues: run clang-tidy with -fix across a project via compile_commands.json to apply refactorings, run the Clang static analyzer for out-of-bounds and null-dereference bugs, and use Clang Sanitizers to detect leaks and data races at runtime. Also covers clang-format and Clazy for style and Qt-specific checks, how to generate a compilation database for non-CMake builds, shows live code fixes, and demonstrates these tools on Windows, Linux and macOS (with sanitizer limitations on Windows).
