[Qt-creator] Clang Tools filling up /tmp

Hi,

I'm using Qt Creator to work on Qt WebEngine, including the src/3rd-party
which is quite big as it contains chromium.

This poses some unique challenges compared to my usual projects.
For instance, I had to disable clangd as it consumed all my RAM.

The last hurdle I encounter is coming from the Clang Tools static analysis
plugin.
I have not found a way to disable it on a per project basis and even when
disabling all diagnostics
it still generates compile_commands.json files under:

   - /tmp/QtCreator.xyz/Clang-Tidy.xyz/compile_commands.json
   - /tmp/QtCreator.xyz/Clazy.xyz/compile_commands.json

The issue is that each of this file is 8GB+ and I end up with /tmp
completely filled even when using a 16GB tmpfs.

Is there a way to prevent these compile_commands.json files from being
generated without disabling the Clang Tools plugin, as I use it for all of
my other projects?

Regards

Benjamin Terrier
