=============================================================================== ALE C Integration *ale-c-options* For basic checking of problems with C files, ALE offers the `cc` linter, which runs either `clang`, or `gcc`. See |ale-c-cc|. =============================================================================== Global Options g:ale_c_build_dir_names *g:ale_c_build_dir_names* *b:ale_c_build_dir_names* Type: |List| Default: `['build', 'bin']` A list of directory names to be used when searching upwards from cpp files to discover compilation databases with. For directory named `'foo'`, ALE will search for `'foo/compile_commands.json'` in all directories on and above the directory containing the cpp file to find path to compilation database. This feature is useful for the clang tools wrapped around LibTooling (namely here, clang-tidy) g:ale_c_build_dir *g:ale_c_build_dir* *b:ale_c_build_dir* Type: |String| Default: `''` For programs that can read `compile_commands.json` files, this option can be set to the directory containing the file for the project. ALE will try to determine the location of `compile_commands.json` automatically, but if your file exists in some other directory, you can set this option so ALE will know where it is. This directory will be searched instead of |g:ale_c_build_dir_names|. g:ale_c_parse_compile_commands *g:ale_c_parse_compile_commands* *b:ale_c_parse_compile_commands* Type: |Number| Default: `1` If set to `1`, ALE will parse `compile_commands.json` files to automatically determine flags for C or C++ compilers. ALE will first search for the nearest `compile_commands.json` file, and then look for `compile_commands.json` files in the directories for |g:ale_c_build_dir_names|. g:ale_c_parse_makefile *g:ale_c_parse_makefile* *b:ale_c_parse_makefile* Type: |Number| Default: `0` If set to `1`, ALE will run `make -n` to automatically determine flags to set for C or C++ compilers. This can make it easier to determine the correct build flags to use for different files. WARNING: Running `make -n` automatically can execute arbitrary code, even though it's supposed to be a dry run, so enable this option with care. You might prefer to use the buffer-local version of the option instead with |g:ale_pattern_options|, or you own code for checking which project you're in. You might want to disable this option if `make -n` takes too long to run for projects you work on. If |g:ale_c_parse_compile_commands| or |b:ale_c_parse_compile_commands| is set to `1`, flags taken from `compile_commands.json` will be preferred over `make -n` output. =============================================================================== astyle *ale-c-astyle* g:ale_c_astyle_executable *g:ale_c_astyle_executable* *b:ale_c_astyle_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'astyle'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for astyle. g:ale_c_astyle_project_options *g:ale_c_astyle_project_options* *b:ale_c_astyle_project_options* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be changed to use an option file for project level configurations. Provide only the filename of the option file that should be present at the project's root directory. For example, if .astylrc is specified, the file is searched in the parent directories of the source file's directory. =============================================================================== cc *ale-c-cc* *ale-c-gcc* *ale-c-clang* g:ale_c_cc_executable *g:ale_c_cc_executable* *b:ale_c_cc_executable* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for a C compiler. ALE will try to use `clang` if Clang is available, otherwise ALE will default to checking C code with `gcc`. g:ale_c_cc_options *g:ale_c_cc_options* *b:ale_c_cc_options* Type: |String| Default: `'-std=c11 -Wall'` This variable can be change to modify flags given to the C compiler. =============================================================================== ccls *ale-c-ccls* g:ale_c_ccls_executable *g:ale_c_ccls_executable* *b:ale_c_ccls_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'ccls'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for ccls. g:ale_c_ccls_init_options *g:ale_c_ccls_init_options* *b:ale_c_ccls_init_options* Type: |Dictionary| Default: `{}` This variable can be changed to customize ccls initialization options. Example: > { \ 'cacheDirectory': '/tmp/ccls', \ 'cacheFormat': 'binary', \ 'diagnostics': { \ 'onOpen': 0, \ 'opChange': 1000, \ }, \ } < Visit https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls/wiki/Initialization-options for all available options and explanations. =============================================================================== clangd *ale-c-clangd* g:ale_c_clangd_executable *g:ale_c_clangd_executable* *b:ale_c_clangd_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'clangd'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for clangd. g:ale_c_clangd_options *g:ale_c_clangd_options* *b:ale_c_clangd_options* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be changed to modify flags given to clangd. =============================================================================== clang-format *ale-c-clangformat* g:ale_c_clangformat_executable *g:ale_c_clangformat_executable* *b:ale_c_clangformat_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'clang-format'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for clang-format. g:ale_c_clangformat_options *g:ale_c_clangformat_options* *b:ale_c_clangformat_options* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be change to modify flags given to clang-format. =============================================================================== clangtidy *ale-c-clangtidy* `clang-tidy` will be run only when files are saved to disk, so that `compile_commands.json` files can be used. It is recommended to use this linter in combination with `compile_commands.json` files. Therefore, `clang-tidy` linter reads the options |g:ale_c_build_dir| and |g:ale_c_build_dir_names|. Also, setting |g:ale_c_build_dir| actually overrides |g:ale_c_build_dir_names|. g:ale_c_clangtidy_checks *g:ale_c_clangtidy_checks* *b:ale_c_clangtidy_checks* Type: |List| Default: `[]` The checks to enable for clang-tidy with the `-checks` argument. All options will be joined with commas, and escaped appropriately for the shell. The `-checks` flag can be removed entirely by setting this option to an empty List. Not all of clangtidy checks are applicable for C. You should consult the clang documentation for an up-to-date list of compatible checks: http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/list.html g:ale_c_clangtidy_executable *g:ale_c_clangtidy_executable* *b:ale_c_clangtidy_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'clang-tidy'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for clangtidy. g:ale_c_clangtidy_options *g:ale_c_clangtidy_options* *b:ale_c_clangtidy_options* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be changed to modify compiler flags given to clang-tidy. - Setting this variable to a non-empty string, - and working in a buffer where no compilation database is found using |g:ale_c_build_dir_names| or |g:ale_c_build_dir|, will cause the `--` argument to be passed to `clang-tidy`, which will mean that detection of `compile_commands.json` files for compile command databases will be disabled. Only set this option if you want to control compiler flags entirely manually, and no `compile_commands.json` file is in one of the |g:ale_c_build_dir_names| directories of the project tree. g:ale_c_clangtidy_extra_options *g:ale_c_clangtidy_extra_options* *b:ale_c_clangtidy_extra_options* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be changed to modify flags given to clang-tidy. g:ale_c_clangtidy_fix_errors *g:ale_c_clangtidy_fix_errors* *b:ale_c_clangtidy_fix_errors* Type: |Number| Default: `1` This variable can be changed to disable the `-fix-errors` option for the |clangtidy| fixer. =============================================================================== cppcheck *ale-c-cppcheck* g:ale_c_cppcheck_executable *g:ale_c_cppcheck_executable* *b:ale_c_cppcheck_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'cppcheck'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for cppcheck. g:ale_c_cppcheck_options *g:ale_c_cppcheck_options* *b:ale_c_cppcheck_options* Type: |String| Default: `'--enable=style'` This variable can be changed to modify flags given to cppcheck. =============================================================================== cquery *ale-c-cquery* g:ale_c_cquery_executable *g:ale_c_cquery_executable* *b:ale_c_cquery_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'cquery'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for cquery. g:ale_cpp_cquery_cache_directory *g:ale_c_cquery_cache_directory* *b:ale_c_cquery_cache_directory* Type: |String| Default: `'~/.cache/cquery'` This variable can be changed to decide which directory cquery uses for its cache. =============================================================================== flawfinder *ale-c-flawfinder* g:ale_c_flawfinder_executable *g:ale_c_flawfinder_executable* *b:ale_c_flawfinder_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'flawfinder'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for flawfinder. g:ale_c_flawfinder_minlevel *g:ale_c_flawfinder_minlevel* *b:ale_c_flawfinder_minlevel* Type: |Number| Default: `1` This variable can be changed to ignore risks under the given risk threshold. g:ale_c_flawfinder_options *g:ale-c-flawfinder* *b:ale-c-flawfinder* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be used to pass extra options into the flawfinder command. g:ale_c_flawfinder_error_severity *g:ale_c_flawfinder_error_severity* *b:ale_c_flawfinder_error_severity* Type: |Number| Default: `6` This variable can be changed to set the minimum severity to be treated as an error. This setting also applies to flawfinder for c++. =============================================================================== uncrustify *ale-c-uncrustify* g:ale_c_uncrustify_executable *g:ale_c_uncrustify_executable* *b:ale_c_uncrustify_executable* Type: |String| Default: `'uncrustify'` This variable can be changed to use a different executable for uncrustify. g:ale_c_uncrustify_options *g:ale_c_uncrustify_options* *b:ale_c_uncrustify_options* Type: |String| Default: `''` This variable can be change to modify flags given to uncrustify. =============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=2:sts=2:sw=2:ft=help:norl:
