>From 5c76f8d1f42b643dc4f6a8b912d798af210e745a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom James <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:52:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [clang-tidy] New portability-avoid-pragma-comment Finds uses of `#pragma comment` and, for `lib` or `linker` comments, suggests using the build system for improved portability. `#pragma comment` is not widely supported outside of MSVC. Clang supports the use of `#pragma comment` to link libraries on both Windows and Linux, but other kinds are only supported on Windows. Using `pragma comment` to change link flags may be unexpected in projects that prefer to set these flags in the build system. --- .../portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.cpp | 50 +++++++++++++++++++ .../portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.h | 37 ++++++++++++++ .../clang-tidy/portability/CMakeLists.txt | 1 + .../portability/PortabilityTidyModule.cpp | 3 ++ clang-tools-extra/docs/ReleaseNotes.md | 6 +++ .../docs/clang-tidy/checks/list.md | 1 + .../portability/avoid-pragma-comment.rst | 23 +++++++++ .../avoid-pragma-comment-linux.cpp | 21 ++++++++ .../avoid-pragma-comment-windows.cpp | 42 ++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 184 insertions(+) create mode 100644 clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.cpp create mode 100644 clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.h create mode 100644 clang-tools-extra/docs/clang-tidy/checks/portability/avoid-pragma-comment.rst create mode 100644 clang-tools-extra/test/clang-tidy/checkers/portability/avoid-pragma-comment-linux.cpp create mode 100644 clang-tools-extra/test/clang-tidy/checkers/portability/avoid-pragma-comment-windows.cpp diff --git a/clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.cpp b/clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.cpp new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..1b2f5d92687b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/portability/AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.cpp @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ +//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// +// +// Part of the LLVM Project, under the Apache License v2.0 with LLVM Exceptions. +// See https://llvm.org/LICENSE.txt for license information. +// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception +// +//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// + +#include "AvoidPragmaCommentCheck.h" +#include "clang/ASTMatchers/ASTMatchFinder.h" + +#include <string> + +using namespace clang::ast_matchers;
