[Qt-creator] What are your favorite clang-tidy checks

[Michael Jackson]

That is Great news. I'll pull it down when I get back from holiday. I really love/hate the clang-tidy checks. Love them because it is like having a really experienced C++ programmer looking over your shoulder the whole time. Hate them because it shows us just how many things we need to fix in our code base. With QtCreator 4.7 looks like I can turn them back on.

    In 4.7 the code completion should also no longer be slowed down by the checks. So it would be great if you could check that out :)

It is almost like QtCreator needs to have 2 threads running. One for the code completion and one for the clang-tidy stuff.
