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.
