Hello,

I am using your plugin to parse and display Clang Tidy / Warnings (diagnostics) reports in SonarQube and it is working great.
As far as I understood, the rules used to match the content from the above reports come from the plugin itself:

• clangtidy.xml

From what I gathered, this file is generated using generate_clangtidy_resources.cmd and with every new release of LLVM/Clang this XML rule file is rebuilt and a new release of the plugin is done to update the list/content of Clang Tidy / Warnings (diagnostics) rules.

I have a custom build of LLVM/Clang with my own custom Clang Tidy checks defined besides the standard ones, and I would like to add rules in SonarQube to display these checks along the default ones.

The ideas I had to do that:

1. Manually create the rule using the Rule template for Clang-Tidy custom rules

Cumbersome and error prone, but seems like the only manual/UI solution available...

2. Use the provided generate_clangtidy_resources.sh to generate the clangtidy.xml for my custom LLVM/Clang build

Seems ideal because reusing the same automated workflow used by the plugin, however I have no clue what to do next once I have generated my custom clangtidy.xml, do I rebuild the plugin or simply copy/paste this file on the SonarQube server?

3. Create my own CXX plugin following https://github.com/SonarOpenCommunity/cxx-custom-checks-example-plugin

Seems a bit too much just to add a few rules.

4. Something else?

What would be the best way to proceed in your opinion?

Thank you.
