About:
Clazy is a static code analyzer that acts as a plugin for the Clang compiler. It provides dozens of automated checks specifically tailored for Qt code, helping developers detect common pitfalls related to memory management, performance, and API usage. By integrating into the build process, it enables teams to enforce best practices and maintain high-quality C++ codebases.
Key Features:
  • Qt-specific static analysis checks
  • Integrates with Clang and build systems
  • Detects memory leaks and performance issues
  • Automated fix-it hints for many warnings
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing Qt best practices in CI/CD pipelines
  • Refactoring legacy Qt codebases for modern standards
  • Debugging subtle memory management issues in Qt applications
Alternatives:
  • clang-tidy – General-purpose C++ linter; Clazy is specialized for Qt frameworks.
  • cppcheck – Standalone static analyzer; Clazy requires Clang and targets Qt-specific patterns.
