clang-format and clang-tidy Configuration Files

Configuration files for LLVM's clang-format automatic source code formatter and LLVM's clang-tidy automatic source code linter.

I created these configuration files for use in my personal software projects.

clang-format Configuration File

The configuration files are available for different versions of clang-format:

• clang-format Configuration File for Version 18.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 17.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 16.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 15.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 14.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 13.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 12.0.0
• clang-format Configuration File for Version 11.0.0

On Ubuntu, install clang-format with:

sudo apt install clang-format

Check the version of clang-format with:

clang-format --version

Format your source code files with:

clang-format --style=file:/path/to/configuration/file /path/to/source/code/files

Alternatively, if you place a clang-format configuration file named .clang-format in the root directory of your source code repository, you can format your source code files with:

clang-format --style=file /path/to/source/code/files

Additionally, most modern integrated development environments support source code formatting with clang-format directly within their user interface; consult your environment's documentation for more details.

clang-tidy Configuration File

The configuration file can be used with any version of clang-tidy:

• clang-tidy Configuration File

On Ubuntu, install clang-tidy with:

sudo apt install clang-tidy

Lint your source code files with:

clang-tidy --config-file=/path/to/configuration/file --extra-arg=-std=c++20 /path/to/source/code/files

Alternatively, if you place a clang-tidy configuration file named .clang-tidy in the root directory of your source code repository, you can lint your source code files with:

clang-tidy --extra-arg=-std=c++20 /path/to/source/code/files

Additionally, most modern integrated development environments support source code linting with clang-tidy directly within their user interface; consult your environment's documentation for more details.
