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_always_make                                       *g:ale_c_always_make*
                                                          *b:ale_c_always_make*
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `has('unix') && !has('macunix')`

  If set to `1`, use `--always-make` for `make`, which means that output will
  always be parsed from `make` dry runs with GNU make. BSD `make` does not
  support this option, so you probably want to turn this option off when using
  a BSD variant.


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.

  NOTE: When using this option on BSD, you may need to set
  |g:ale_c_always_make| to `0`, and `make -n` will not provide consistent
  results if binaries have already been built, so use `make clean` when
  editing your 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.

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.

  Type: |String|
  Default: `'<auto>'`

  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*

  Type: |String|
  Default: `'-std=c11 -Wall'`

  This variable can be change to modify flags given to the C compiler.

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*

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 changed to modify flags given to clang-format.


g:ale_c_clangformat_style_option             *g:ale_c_clangformat_style_option*
                                             *b:ale_c_clangformat_style_option*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be changed to modify only the style flag given to
  clang-format. The contents of the variable are passed directly to the -style
  flag of clang-format.

  Example: >
      {
    \ BasedOnStyle:                        Microsoft,
    \ ColumnLimit:                         80,
    \ AllowShortBlocksOnASingleLine:       Always,
    \ AllowShortFunctionsOnASingleLine:    Inline,
    \ }
<
  If you set this variable, ensure you don't modify -style in
  |g:ale_c_clangformat_options|, as this will cause clang-format to error.


g:ale_c_clangformat_use_local_file         *g:ale_c_clangformat_use_local_file*
                                           *b:ale_c_clangformat_use_local_file*
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `0`

  This variable can be changed to modify whether to use a local .clang-format
  file. If the file is found, the flag '-style=file' is passed to clang-format
  and any options configured via |g:ale_c_clangformat_style_option| are not
  passed.

  If this option is enabled but no .clang-format file is found, default back to
  |g:ale_c_clangformat_style_option|, if it set.

  If you set this variable, ensure you don't modify -style in
  |g:ale_c_clangformat_options|, as this will cause clang-format to error.


===============================================================================
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.

  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*
