ALE C++ Integration                                           *ale-cpp-options*

For basic checking of problems with C++ files, ALE offers the `cc` linter,
which runs either `clang++`, or `gcc`. See |ale-cpp-cc|.


===============================================================================
Global Options

The following C options also apply to some C++ linters too.

* |g:ale_c_always_make|
* |g:ale_c_build_dir_names|
* |g:ale_c_build_dir|
* |g:ale_c_parse_makefile|
* |g:ale_c_parse_compile_commands|

cpp_astyle_project_options
g:ale_cpp_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.

cpp_cc_executable
g:ale_cpp_cc_executable
  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`.

                                                   *ale-options.cpp_cc_options*

g:ale_cpp_cc_options
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'-std=c++14 -Wall'`

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

cpp_cc_use_header_lang_flag
g:ale_cpp_cc_use_header_lang_flag
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `-1`

  By default, ALE will use `'-x c++-header'` instead of `'-x c++'` for header
  files when using Clang.

  This variable can be changed to manually activate or deactivate this flag
  for header files.

  - When set to `-1`, the default behavior is used, `'-x c++-header'` is used
    with Clang and `'-x c++'` is used with other compilers.
  - When set to `0`, the flag is deactivated, `'-x c++'` is always used
    independently of the compiler.
  - When set to `1`, the flag is activated, `'-x c++-header'` is always used
    independently of the compiler.

  GCC does not support `'-x c++-header'` when using `'-'` as input filename,
  which is what ALE does. This why, by default, ALE only uses `'-x c++-header'`
  with Clang.

cpp_cc_header_exts

  Type: |List|
  Default: `['h', 'hpp']`

  This variable can be changed to modify the list of extensions of the files
  considered as header files.

  This variable is only used when `'-x c++-header'` is used instead of `'-x c++'`,
  see |g:ale_cpp_cc_use_header_lang_flag|.

clangcheck                                                 *ale-cpp-clangcheck*

`clang-check` 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-check` 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|.

cpp_clangtidy_options
g:ale_cpp_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.
