Version 2.6

January 29, 2018

Until now, we’ve used the %INCLUDE% environment variable for setting clang include directories. That was equivalent to using -isystem for each directory.

Unfortunately, this caused headers included relative to those include directories to be ignored when running compiling/tidying because they were treated as system headers.

Having this brought to our attention, going forward we will use -I and -isystem to pass include directories to clang, with the following defaults:

  • include directories passed using -isystem
  • additional include directories passed using -I

Q: What does this mean?
A: You’ll most likely see new warnings when compiling or tidying your code-base.

Q: Will my build fail?
A: Only if you have specified -Werror (treat warnings as errors).

Q: What should I do?
A: - Make sure to include third party library dependencies via the Include directories project option. Additional include directories should point only to code you can modernize. - Resolve remaining warnings related to your code.

Q: Can I use ClangPowerTools using the old behavior?
A: Yes. We’ve added, for compatibility reasons, a UI option that allows clang to treat additional includes as system headers. Keep in mind this means we will potentially miss some of your headers when calling clang.

You may want to use this option if using -Werror (treating warnings as errors) until you’ve reorganized your includes, since any new warnings will break your build.

Q: What about the continuous integration script (clang-build.ps1)?
A: You can specify the -treat-sai switch and it will have the old behavior.
