`b:ale_linters` can be used to select which tools you want to run, say if you
want to use only `gcc` for one project, and only `clang` for another.
ALE will attempt to parse `make -n` when a `Makefile` is found or load the flags
for files from `compile_commands.json` files. See `:help g:ale_c_parse_makefile`
and `:help g:ale_c_parse_compile_commands` for more information. See Clang's
documentation for [compile_commands.json files](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html).
You should strongly consider generating them in your builds, which is easy to
do with CMake.

option is disabled by default. See `:help g:ale_c_parse_makefile`.
You may also configure buffer-local settings for linters with project-specific
