Warnings given by clang-tidy or clangd are configured in .clang-tidy yaml file in the nearest folder. Detector specific folders can have different configurations defined in the global.yml. The customary configuration files in folders for a detector should be symbolic links to a common file located at config/clang_tidy/${detector_name}.yml.
Currently there are 3 different folders for each detector:
R3BRoot/${detector_name}/R3BRoot/r3bsource/${detector_name}/R3BRoot/r3bdata/${detector_name}Data/Here is an example of how to create 3 symbolic links in the folders related to NeuLAND:
# in project root folder
ln -s ../config/clang_tidy/neuland.yml ./neuland/.clang-tidy
ln -s ../../config/clang_tidy/neuland.yml ./r3bsource/neuland/.clang-tidy
ln -s ../../config/clang_tidy/neuland.yml ./r3bdata/neulandData/.clang-tidy
Ways to ignore certain warnings among the code can be found in clang-tidy official website.
Here is a summary with some examples (copied directly from the website):
NOLINT
```cpp
// Suppress all the diagnostics for the line
Foo(int param); // NOLINT// Consider explaining the motivation to suppress the warning
Foo(char param); // NOLINT: Allow implicit conversion from char, because
// Silence only the specified checks for the line Foo(double param); // NOLINT(google-explicit-constructor, google-runtime-int)
// Silence all checks from the google module
Foo(bool param); // NOLINT(google*)
// Silence all checks ending with -avoid-c-arrays
int array[10]; // NOLINT(*-avoid-c-arrays
2. `NOLINTNEXTLINE`
```cpp
// Silence only the specified diagnostics for the next line
// NOLINTNEXTLINE(google-explicit-constructor, google-runtime-int)
Foo(bool param);
// Silence all checks from the `google` module for the next line
// NOLINTNEXTLINE(google*)
Foo(bool param);
// Silence all checks ending with `-avoid-c-arrays` for the next line
// NOLINTNEXTLINE(*-avoid-c-arrays)
int array[10];
NOLINTBEGIN and NOLINTEND
```cpp
// Silence only the specified checks for all lines between the BEGIN and END
// NOLINTBEGIN(google-explicit-constructor, google-runtime-int)
Foo(short param);
Foo(long param);
// NOLINTEND(google-explicit-constructor, google-runtime-int)// Silence all checks from the google module for all lines between the BEGIN and END
// NOLINTBEGIN(google)
Foo(bool param);
// NOLINTEND(google)
// Silence all checks ending with -avoid-c-arrays for all lines between the BEGIN and END
// NOLINTBEGIN(-avoid-c-arrays)
int array[10];
// NOLINTEND(-avoid-c-arrays)
```
