:local:
:depth: 3
Written by the `LLVM Team <http://llvm.org/>`_
Introduction
============
This document contains the release notes for the Extra Clang Tools, part of the
Clang release 6.0.0. Here we describe the status of the Extra Clang Tools in

feature work. All LLVM releases may be downloaded from the `LLVM releases web
site <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
For more information about Clang or LLVM, including information about
the latest release, please see the `Clang Web Site <http://clang.llvm.org>`_ or
the `LLVM Web Site <http://llvm.org>`_.
What's New in Extra Clang Tools 6.0.0?
======================================
Some of the major new features and improvements to Extra Clang Tools are listed
here. Generic improvements to Extra Clang Tools as a whole or to its underlying
infrastructure are described first, followed by tool-specific sections.
Improvements to clang-tidy
--------------------------
- New module `fuchsia` for Fuchsia style checks.
- New module `objc` for Objective-C style checks.
- New `android-cloexec-accept
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-accept.html>`_ check
Detects usage of ``accept()``.
- New `android-cloexec-accept4
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-accept4.html>`_ check
Checks if the required file flag ``SOCK_CLOEXEC`` is present in the argument of
``accept4()``.
- New `android-cloexec-dup
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-dup.html>`_ check
Detects usage of ``dup()``.
- New `android-cloexec-epoll-create
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-epoll-create.html>`_ check
Detects usage of ``epoll_create()``.
- New `android-cloexec-epoll-create1
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-epoll-create1.html>`_ check
Checks if the required file flag ``EPOLL_CLOEXEC`` is present in the argument of
``epoll_create1()``.
- New `android-cloexec-inotify-init
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-inotify-init.html>`_ check
Detects usage of ``inotify_init()``.
- New `android-cloexec-inotify-init1
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-inotify-init1.html>`_ check
Checks if the required file flag ``IN_CLOEXEC`` is present in the argument of
``inotify_init1()``.
- New `android-cloexec-memfd_create
<clang-tidy/checks/android-cloexec-memfd-create.html>`_ check
Checks if the required file flag ``MFD_CLOEXEC`` is present in the argument
of ``memfd_create()``.
- New `bugprone-copy-constructor-init
<clang-tidy/checks/bugprone-copy-constructor-init.html>`_ check
Finds copy constructors which don't call the copy constructor of the base class.
- New `bugprone-integer-division
<clang-tidy/checks/bugprone-integer-division.html>`_ check
Finds cases where integer division in a floating point context is likely to
cause unintended loss of precision.
- New `bugprone-misplaced-operator-in-strlen-in-alloc
<clang-tidy/checks/bugprone-misplaced-operator-in-strlen-in-alloc.html>`_ check
Finds cases where ``1`` is added to the string in the argument to
``strlen()``, ``strnlen()``, ``strnlen_s()``, ``wcslen()``, ``wcsnlen()``, and
``wcsnlen_s()`` instead of the result and the value is used as an argument to
a memory allocation function (``malloc()``, ``calloc()``, ``realloc()``,
``alloca()``) or the ``new[]`` operator in `C++`.
- New `cppcoreguidelines-owning-memory <clang-tidy/checks/cppcoreguidelines-owning-memory.html>`_ check
This check implements the type-based semantic of ``gsl::owner<T*>``, but without
flow analysis.
- New `fuchsia-default-arguments
<clang-tidy/checks/fuchsia-default-arguments.html>`_ check
Warns if a function or method is declared or called with default arguments.
- New `fuchsia-overloaded-operator
<clang-tidy/checks/fuchsia-overloaded-operator.html>`_ check
Warns if an operator is overloaded, except for the assignment (copy and move) operators.
- New `fuchsia-virtual-inheritance
<clang-tidy/checks/fuchsia-virtual-inheritance.html>`_ check
Warns if classes are defined with virtual inheritance.
- New `google-objc-avoid-throwing-exception

Finds uses of throwing exceptions usages in Objective-C files.
- New `google-objc-global-variable-declaration

- New `hicpp-exception-baseclass
<clang-tidy/checks/hicpp-exception-baseclass.html>`_ check
Ensures that all exception will be instances of ``std::exception`` and classes
that are derived from it.
- New `hicpp-signed-bitwise
<clang-tidy/checks/hicpp-signed-bitwise.html>`_ check
Finds uses of bitwise operations on signed integer types, which may lead to
undefined or implementation defined behaviour.
- New `objc-avoid-nserror-init
<clang-tidy/checks/objc-avoid-nserror-init.html>`_ check
Finds improper initialization of ``NSError`` objects.
- New `objc-avoid-spinlock
<clang-tidy/checks/objc-avoid-spinlock.html>`_ check
Finds usages of ``OSSpinlock``, which is deprecated due to potential livelock
problems.
- New `objc-forbidden-subclassing
<clang-tidy/checks/objc-forbidden-subclassing.html>`_ check
Finds Objective-C classes which are subclasses of classes which are not
designed to be subclassed.
- New `objc-property-declaration
<clang-tidy/checks/objc-property-declaration.html>`_ check

Finds redundant binary operator expressions where the operators are overloaded,
and ones that contain the same macros twice.
Also checks for assignment expressions that do not change the value of the
assigned variable, and expressions that always evaluate to the same value
because of possible operator confusion.
