Clang Tools Distribution Projects
#

To make it easier for C/C++ developers to use clang-format and clang-tidy code checking tools, I created the following three distribution methods:

🎯 Goal: Simplify the integration and usage of Clang Tools, supporting different use cases and environments.


🐳 Docker Images
#

Project: clang-tools-docker

Pre-built Docker images containing multiple versions of clang-format and clang-tidy, ideal for CI/CD environments and containerized deployments.

Use Cases:

  • GitHub Actions / GitLab CI and other CI/CD pipelines
  • Code checking in isolated environments
  • Quick switching between multiple Clang tool versions

📦 Static Binaries
#

Project: clang-tools-static-binaries

Cross-platform pre-compiled static binaries with no system library dependencies, ready to use out of the box.

Use Cases:

  • Restricted environments without package managers
  • Specific versions of Clang tools needed
  • Quick deployment and standalone execution

🎡 Python Wheel Packages
#

Project: clang-tools-wheel
PyPI Package: clang-tools

Install with a single command pip install clang-tools, integrating Clang tools into Python projects.

Use Cases:

  • Python project development environments
  • Managing tool dependencies via pip
  • Integration with Python toolchains

💡 Note: These projects are hosted under the cpp-linter organization, where I participate as a core maintainer in development and maintenance.
