Its upstream README describes it as giving Clang Qt semantics and adding more than 50 Qt-related warnings, including checks for unnecessary allocations, API misuse, and automatic fix-its. ### Project history The upstream changelog records a 0.0.1 first release on 2015-06-10 and a 1.0 release on 2016-09-12. Subsequent releases expanded platform support, check coverage, fix-its, and standalone compilation-database use. Clazy was originally associated with KDAB-oriented Qt development workflows and is now hosted under KDE's SDK namespace. The current KDE project description calls it a Qt-oriented static code analyzer based on the Clang framework. ### Adoption history The README documents Linux, Windows, MacPorts, and Homebrew build paths, and the batch package metadata lists Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, Nix, Arch, Ubuntu, and openSUSE packages. That distribution spread reflects adoption by Qt/C++ developers who want analyzer checks packaged with their compiler toolchains. Release history shows ongoing updates for modern LLVM and Qt versions, including LLVM 19-22 compatibility work, Qt 6 porting changes, and integration into clang-tidy in the 1.16 series. ### How it is used Clazy is used either as a compiler wrapper/plugin or via clazy-standalone against a JSON compilation database. The README shows CMake and qmake usage, check levels, environment-variable and compiler-argument selection of checks, fix-it support, and warning-noise controls. ### Why package nerds care Clazy is a classic packaging edge case: it sits at the intersection of Qt, Clang/LLVM ABI compatibility, compiler plugins, IDE integration, and distro compiler versions. Package maintainers care because a clazy build must match supported LLVM/Clang ranges while still being useful across Qt 5 and Qt 6 codebases. ### Timeline - 2015: Version 0.0.1 first release. - 2016: Version 1.0 release. - 2017: Version 1.1 adds macOS and Windows support. - 2017: Version 1.2 adds clazy-standalone for JSON compilation databases. - 2021: Version 1.10 requires C++17. - 2025: Version 1.16 adds clang-tidy integration. -
