[Bf-committers] Clang-Tidy: Request for Feedback

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi, just my two cents, since I did not take part in this project in itself:

I do not mind having to force clean rebuild once in a while if needed, 
no. Having this handled automatically would be nice of course, but does 
not look like a showstopper to me.

No, I don't think so, given the cost on building time. What I will 
likely do is having a dedicated build for that (like I have e.g. for 
lite builds for quick bisect, etc.), that I will run as part of clean-up 
& finalize process before committing, but not during on-going development.
Indeed, enabling it on CI seems a very good idea though.

Cheers,
Bastien
