+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|
+

+astyle *ale-cpp-astyle*
+
+ *ale-options.cpp_astyle_executable*
+ *g:ale_cpp_astyle_executable*
+ *b:ale_cpp_astyle_executable*
+cpp_astyle_executable
+g:ale_cpp_astyle_executable
+ Type: |String|
+ Default: `'astyle'`
+
+ This variable can be changed to use a different executable for astyle.
+
+ *ale-options.cpp_astyle_project_options*
+ *g:ale_cpp_astyle_project_options*
+ *b:ale_cpp_astyle_project_options*
+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.

+cc *ale-cpp-cc*

+ *ale-cpp-clang*
+
+ *ale-options.cpp_cc_executable*
+ *g:ale_cpp_cc_executable*
+ *b:ale_cpp_cc_executable*
+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*
+ *b:ale_cpp_cc_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.
+
+ *ale-options.cpp_cc_use_header_lang_flag*
+ *g:ale_cpp_cc_use_header_lang_flag*
+ *b:ale_cpp_cc_use_header_lang_flag*
+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.
+
+ *ale-options.cpp_cc_header_exts*
+ *g:ale_cpp_cc_header_exts*
+ *b:ale_cpp_cc_header_exts*
+cpp_cc_header_exts
+g:ale_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|.

+ Type: |Dictionary|
+ Default: `{}`
+
+ This variable can be changed to customize ccls initialization options.
+ Example: >
+
+ let g:ale_cpp_ccls_init_options = {
+ \ 'cacheDirectory': '/tmp/ccls',
+ \ 'cacheFormat': 'binary',
+ \ 'diagnostics': {
+ \ 'onOpen': 0,

+===============================================================================
+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_clangcheck_options
+g:ale_cpp_clangcheck_options
+ Type: |String|
+ Default: `''`
+
+ This variable can be changed to modify flags given to clang-check.
+
+ This variable should not be set to point to build subdirectory with
+ `-p path/to/build` option, as it is handled by the |g:ale_c_build_dir|
+ option.

+clangtidy *ale-cpp-clangtidy*
+
+`clang-tidy` 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-tidy` 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|.

+ Type: |List|
+ Default: `[]`
+
+ The checks to enable for clang-tidy with the `-checks` argument.
+
+ All options will be joined with commas, and escaped appropriately for

+ *b:ale_cpp_clangtidy_options*
+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.
