Or
* run clang-tidy/clazy "outside" of the code-model in a separate step in 
QtCreator?
* run clang-tidy/clazy only when triggered (menu entry - like the for example 
the clang power tools in VS)

Btw. - it would be nice if the QtCreator clang-tidy plugin would (optionally) 
make use of a .clang-tidy config file (to share it with clang power tools for 
example).
