GHA/linux: switch clang-tidy job to cmake for 2x speed, bump to v20, enable for tests

Checking lib and src under 3m15s versus 7m15s.

Downside: autotools clang-tidy support is no longer CI-tested.

The reason for the slowness is invoking a single clang-tidy command with
all source files, and clang-tidy checking them in a single thread,
sequentially. clang-tidy offers a `run-clang-tidy` Python script for
parallel  processing, which may help with this. However at this point
it's more practical to use cmake, which also supports verifying the
whole codebase, not only lib and src.

Also:
- bump clang-tidy to the latest available, v20 (from v18).
- enable running clang-tidy on tests. Takes under 2 minutes.

Also tried `_CURL_TESTS_CONCAT=ON`, it brings down the build tests step
from 1m47s to 54s, saving 1 minute. Skipped using it for now.

3 months agocmake: add native clang-tidy support for tests, with concatenated sources
Viktor Szakats [Sat, 21 Feb 2026 01:44:42 +0000 (02:44 +0100)] 
cmake: add native clang-tidy support for tests, with concatenated sources

Tests are build in "unity"-style, by including sources into an umbrella
C files (similar to how CMake unity works). This does not play well with
clang-tidy, which seems to unconditionally ignore C sources included
like this. To fix it, curl's CMake implements a manual clang-tidy
support for tests, which  compiles sources one-by-one, while also making
sure sources compile cleanly standalone (e.g. all sources need to
include `first.h`). The manual clang-tidy implementation is fragile, and
performance, in particular when targeting Windows, is abysmal.

This patch introduces an alternate solution, enabled by the
`_CURL_TESTS_CONCAT=ON` option. In this mode, umbrella sources include
the actual sources instead of `#including` them. Allowing to use CMake's
built-in clang-tidy support to compile them, with clang-tidy actually
checking the sources. Making the manual clang-tidy support unnecessary.
In the Windows CI job it results in a 4x performance improvement (4m ->
1m), making it practical to run clang-tidy on tests on Windows, in CI.

The main downside is that clang-tidy doesn't understand the `#line`
directive. Meaning issues found show the wrong filename and line number
next to them. It's not impossible to locate errors this way, but also
not convenient.

Minor/potential downside is that the concatenated source needs to be
reassembled each time an original source is updated. This may result in
more copying on the disk when used in local development. The largest
source is 1.4MB, so probably not a show-stopper on most machines.

Another is the complexity of maintaining two methods in parallel, which
may be necessary till clang-tidy understands `#line`:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62405

This solution may in theory also enable adding clang-tidy support for
tests in autotools, though I haven't tried.

Targeted for curl CI for now, and used in a GHA/windows job. 100%
experimental, not recommended outside these.

Viktor Szakats [Wed, 18 Feb 2026 23:44:43 +0000 (00:44 +0100)] 
lib: use lib source directory as base include path

Backtrack on previous change that aimed to solve the wrong `share.h`
being included. It turns out it did not fix this issue. At the same time
it introduced relative header filenames and the need to include the same
headers differently depending on the source files' location, reducing
readability and editability.

Replace this method by re-adding curl's lib source directory to the
header path and addressing headers by the their full, relative name to
that base directory. Aligning with this method already used in src and
tests.

With these advantages:
- makes includes easier to read, recognize, grep, sort, write, and copy
  between sources,
- syncs the way these headers are included across curl components,
- avoids the ambiguity between system `schannel.h`, `rustls.h` vs.
  local headers using the same names in `lib/vtls`,
- silences clang-tidy `readability-duplicate-include` checker, which
  detects the above issue,
  Ref: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/readability/duplicate-include.html
- possibly silences TIOBE coding standard warnings:
  `6.10.2.a: Don't use relative paths in #include statements.`
- long shot: it works well with concatenated test sources, for
  clang-tidy-friendly custom unity builds. Ref: #20667

Slight downside: it's not enforced.

If there happens to be a collision between a local `lib/*.h` header and
a system one, the solution is to rename (possibly with its `.c`
counterpart) into the `curl_` namespace. This is also the method used by
curl in the past.

Also:
- curlx/inet_pton: reduce scope of an include.
- toolx/tool_time: apply this to an include, and update VS project
  files accordingly. Also dropping unnecessary lib/curlx header path.
- clang-tidy: enable `readability-duplicate-include`.

clang-tidy minimum version and prepare logic to allow using clang-tidy

  To make it easy to see and edit checks at one place. Also to allow
  using the `--checks=` option internally to silence tests-specific
  checks. (clang-tidy does not support multiple `--check=` options via
  the command-line.)
  Use explicit `--config-file=` option to point to the configuration.
- .clang-tidy.yml: link to documentation.
- suppress `clang-diagnostic-nullability-extension` due to a false
  positive in libtests with `CURL_WERROR=ON` and `PICKY_COMPILER=OFF`.
- .clang-tidy.yml: enable `portability-*`, `misc-const-correctness`.
- drop `--quiet` clang-tidy option by default to make its working a bit
  more transparent. The extra output is minimial.
- consistently use double-dashes in clang-tidy command-line options.
  Supported by clang-tidy 9.0.0+ (2019-09-19). Before this patch single
  and double were used arbitrarily.
- src/tool_parsecfg: silence false positive `clang-analyzer-unix.Stream`.
  Seen with clang 18 + clang-tidy 19 and 20 (only with autotools.)
- INTERNALS: require clang-tidy 14.0.0+. For the `--config-file` option.
- INTERNALS: recommend clang-tidy 19.1.0+, to avoid bogus
  `clang-analyzer-valist.Uninitialized` warnings. (bug details below)

autotools:

- allow configuring the clang-tidy tool via `CLANG_TIDY` env.
  Also to use in GHA to point to a suffixed clang-tody tool.
- fix to pass CFLAGS to lib, src sources.
  (keep omitting them when using a non-clang compiler.)
- fix to pass `--warnings-as-errors=*` in quotes to avoid globbing.

cmake:

- fix to not pass an empty `-I` to clang-tidy.
- fix to pass CFLAGS (picky warnings) to clang-tidy for test sources.
  (keep omitting them when using a non-clang compiler.)
- fix to disable `clang-diagnostic-unused-function` for test sources.
  (tests have static entry points, which trigger this check when
  checking them as individidual sources.)
- fix forwarding `CURL_CLANG_TIDYFLAGS` to clang-tidy.
- force disable picky warnings when running clang-tidy with a non-clang
  compiler. To not pass these flags when checking lib and src.

CI:

- GHA/linux: avoid clang-tidy bug by upgrading to v19, and drop the
  workaround.
- GHA/linux: switch to clang from gcc in the clang-tidy job. Using gcc
  doesn't allow passing CFLAGS to clang-tidy, making it less effective.
  (My guess this was one factor contributing to this job often missing
  to find certain issues compared to GHA/macos.)

I recomment using clang-tidy with a clang compiler, preferably the same
version or one that's compatible. Other cases are best effort, and may
fail if a C flag is passed to clang-tidy that it does not understand.
Picky warnings are mostly omitted when using a non-clang compiler,
reducing its usefulness.

Details and reproducer for the v18 (and earlier) clang-tidy bug,

easy: reset errorbuf on eyeballing success

Any failf() that fill the errorbuf need to be forgotten once happy
eyeballing finds a succssful winner. Because the errorbuf, once set, is
not overwritten with future error information.

Adds test_05_05 to verify.
