[Qt-creator] clangtools cpu load

[Björn Schäpers]

Hi there,

I'm witnessing a crippling cpu load from the clangtools plugin through 
clang-tidy. I'm using a quite recent LLVM and qt-creator from this morning 
(CEST) on Windows.

It seems the clang-tidy.exe analyzes the source files and afterwards starts a 
child process llvm-tokenizer.exe, and there is the problem. When the Creator 
kills the clang-tidy process, the llvm-tokenizer continues to live and use one 
core at 100%.

So these processes accumulate while editing and very soon the whole system is 
quite unusable until the llvm-tokenizers are done with their work.

Has anyone experience with that, or a way to handle the problem? As far as I can 
see QProcess has no way of terminating the child processes.

Kind regards,
Björn.
