This linter plugin for Linter provides an interface to clang. It will be used with files that have the "C++", "C", "Objective-C" and "Objective-C++" syntax.
Install from the Settings pane of Atom by searching for and installing the linter-clang package.
Or install from your Command Prompt by running:
$ apm install linter-clang
This package will ensure that all dependencies are installed on activation.
If your project has some extra include directories, put them in a file called ".clang_complete" and list them line by line. The linter will open the file and use the specified paths when linting in your project.
-Iinclude
-Ilib/foo/include
Please note the file should contain one command line argument per line. These arguments are passed to clang directly using exec and not via a shell. Therefore any spaces are treated as a part of the command line argument.
This means on the one hand -I include results in clang using include (note the space at the beginning) as include directory.
For the same reason -I include -I lib/foo/include causes clang to search for includes in include -I lib/foo/include.
On the other hand if your path contains spaces you must not escape them or put quotes around the path.
For example: -Ilib/dir with spaces/include only works without any quotes or escaping.
The Clang JSON Compilation Database is also a supported format for project specific settings.
