<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY
-----------------

.. versionadded:: 3.6

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

Specify a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` containing
a command line for the ``clang-tidy`` tool.  The :ref:`Makefile Generators`
and the :generator:`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.

.. versionchanged:: 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 :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` variable if it is set
when a target is created.

.. versionadded:: 3.27

  This property supports
  :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.

.. versionadded:: 3.27

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