# <LANG>_CLANG_TIDY

Added in version 3.6.

This property is implemented only when `<LANG>` is `C`, `CXX`, `OBJC` or `OBJCXX`.

Specify a semicolon-separated list containing a command line for the `clang-tidy` tool. The Makefile Generators and the `Ninja` generator will run this tool along with the compiler and report a warning if the tool reports any problems.

The specified `clang-tidy` command line will be invoked with additional arguments specifying the source file and, after `--`, the full compiler command line.

Changed in version 3.25: If the specified `clang-tidy` command line includes the `-p` option, it will be invoked without `--` and the full compiler command line. `clang-tidy` will look up the source file in the specified compiler commands database.

This property is initialized by the value of the `CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` variable if it is set when a target is created.

Added in version 3.27: This property supports `generator expressions`.

Added in version 3.27: `SKIP_LINTING` can be set on individual source files to exclude them from the linting tools defined by `<LANG>_CPPLINT`, `<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY`, `<LANG>_CPPCHECK`, and `<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE`. When `SKIP_LINTING` is set to true on a source file, those tools will not be run on that specific file.
