Clang Power Tools

A tool bringing clang-tidy magic to Visual Studio C++ developers.

This Visual Studio extension helps Visual Studio C++ developers leverage Clang/LLVM tools like clang-tidy in order to perform various code transformations and fixes like modernizing code to C++11/14/17 and finding subtle latent bugs with its static analyzer and ‘cppcoreguidelines’ modules (Guidelines Support Library).

A list of available checks that clang-tidy can perform:
https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/list.html
https://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/available_checks.html

The extension can be configured via the standard Visual Studio options panel.
Tools > Options > Clang Power Tools
You can customize the tool behavior as well as the clang++ compilation flags, clang-tidy checks, etc.

Requirements

Download and install Clang for Windows (LLVM pre-built binary)
http://releases.llvm.org/5.0.0/LLVM-5.0.0-win64.exe
http://releases.llvm.org/download.html

We will automatically load clang from the default installation path C:\Program Files\LLVM. If you prefer to use a different location you must manually add the bin folder to PATH.

Download and install at least PowerShell 3.0 (v2.0 shipped with Windows 7 doesn't work)
