+.. title:: clang-tidy - llvm-formatv-string
+
+llvm-formatv-string
+===================
+
+Validates ``llvm::formatv`` format strings against the arguments provided,
+similar to how the compiler validates ``printf`` format strings.
+
+This check diagnoses the following issues:
+
+- The number of replacement indices in the format string does not match the
+  number of arguments provided.
+- A format string does not use an argument at a given index.
+- Automatic and explicit indices are mixed (e.g. ``{} {1}``).
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  // Warning: requires 2 arguments, but 1 provided.
+  llvm::formatv("{0} {1}", x);
+
+  // Warning: mixes automatic and explicit indices.
+  llvm::formatv("{} {1}", x, y);
+
+  // Warning: format string does not use argument at index 1.
+  llvm::formatv("{0} {2}", x, y, z);
+
+  // OK.
+  llvm::formatv("{0} {1}", x, y);
+  llvm::formatv("{} {}", x, y);
+  llvm::formatv("{0} {0}", x);
+
+The check only operates on calls where the format string is a string literal.
+Dynamic format strings are not diagnosed.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. option:: AdditionalFunctions
+
+  A semicolon-separated list of additional functions to check, beyond
+  ``llvm::formatv``. Each entry has the form ``name:index``, where ``name``
+  is the fully qualified function name and ``index`` is the 0-based parameter
+  position of the format string.
+
+  For example, to check ``mylib::log(Level, const char *Fmt, ...)`` where
+  the format string is the second parameter (index 1):
+
+  .. code-block:: yaml
+
+    CheckOptions:
+      llvm-formatv-string.AdditionalFunctions: "mylib::log:1"
+
+  Multiple entries are separated by semicolons:
+
+  .. code-block:: yaml
+
+    CheckOptions:
+      llvm-formatv-string.AdditionalFunctions: 
"mylib::log:1;lldb_private::Log::Format:2"
+
+  Default: empty.

-  position of the format string.
