Look at vscode-clangd. The code-completion seems more robust (as long as you have suitable compile-commands.json) and it supports clang-tidy.

you can use c/c++ advanced lint - it uses cppcheck / clang / flexlint

settings are done in settings.json

r/cpp on Reddit: VS Code - clang-tidy support in C/C++ extension

December 14, 2021 - If there are certain folders that you want clang-tidy to treat differently, add a .clang-tidy file on them. You can use "InheritParentConfig" so you only need to specify the differences over the rest. ... Absolutely you can still the clangd extension, it's just nice to have the functionality rolled into the default extension. For the file excludes portion, it still allows for using the .clang-tidy files, but I imagine it's nice for getting started with clang-tidy if you don't already have the configs throughout the codebase and have some external code (via submodules) that wouldn't be worthwhile to scan.

These arguments can be used to control how Clang-Tidy parses your code, such as defining macros, include paths, or language standards. Enter arguments as a semi-colon separated list. For example: -std=c++20;-DMY_DEFINE=1;-Ipath\to\include.

c_cpp_properties.json is a configuration file specific to Microsoft's C/C++ VSCode plugin. It's not used by clangd or clang-tidy.

Clangd and clang-tidy use compile_commands.json for configuration. Please see https://clangd.llvm.org/installation#compile_commandsjson for some discussion of this file and how to generate it.

Try putting the following in your workspace settings.json file:

"C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.useBuildPath": true

The setting's description:

If true and compileCommands is set, the -p=<build-path> argument is passed to clang-tidy instead of build arguments being passed after --. This may not work if environment variables aren't set so that system includes can be found.

From the help message for clang-tidy's -p flag:

-p <build-path> is used to read a compile command database.

    For example, it can be a CMake build directory in which a file named
    compile_commands.json exists (use -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
    CMake option to get this output). When no build path is specified,
    a search for compile_commands.json will be attempted through all
    parent paths of the first input file . See:
    https://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html for an
    example of setting up Clang Tooling on a source tree.

Somewhat related GitHub issue ticket in the vscode-cpptools repo: C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.useBuildPath should not add "compile_commands.json" to the -p argument #9273

I'm not sure if that will just work for you. If it doesn't try specifying the -p flag and build path manually (the path to the directory containing the compile commands JSON file) using the "C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.args" VS Code setting.

Another way to bring clang-tidy functionality to Visual Studio is the Clang Power Tools plugin, which includes most of the clang-tidy checks and runs them during compilation or as a separate step of code analysis. ... Emacs24, when expanded with the Flycheck plugin, incorporates the clang-tidy inspection into the syntax analyzer.

r/cpp_questions on Reddit: VScode & clang-tidy and other tools

November 9, 2024 -

Hello,

I am working through various complaints from clang-tidy, clang and cppcheck. I have a couple questions with a Vulkan CMake project . I am having a bit of time setting everything properly. Note everything builds with Cmake.

with Clang-tidy I know of the .clang-tidy file in project root directory. But I am not understanding how to let clang-tidy know of the Include paths. It is finding the Vulkan header files though I at this point I am not certain how. However it is not finding GLFW/glfw3.h header files. I am at a loss of how to proceed. CoPilot mentions compile_commands.json but creating one has not solved my problem.
flylint has a number of settings including for includePaths. The questions will clang and cppcheck inherit the includePaths setting from the flylint.includePaths variable or do I have to set those all separately . Of course this course if inheritance should apply to a number of other flylint variables.

Thanks,

Frank

From documentation : -p is used to read a compile command database. For example, it can be a CMake build directory in which a file named compile_commands.json exists (use -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON CMake option to get this output). When no build path is specified, a search for compile_commands.json will be attempted through all parent paths of the first input file . See: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html for an example of setting up Clang Tooling on a source tree.

You'll probably want to generate your compile_commands.json with Cmake and use the clangd extension to have clang-tidy run. Flylint can call clang-analyzer which can be fed your compile_commands.json if I remember correctly
