CppDepend Diagnostics

Clang diagnostics


CppDepend operates all Clang diagnostics which are easy to browse using CQlinq. The following CQLinq query matches all Clang diagnostics:

warnif count >0
from issue in ImportedIssues where issue.ToolName=="Clang"
select new
{ issue, issue.Type, issue.FilePath, issue.BeginLine }

The diagnostics could be filtred by their types and here is the list of all Clang warnings and their associated description:
