fix: let pip resolve --version and check every file clang-tidy gets - #323
Fixes the remaining four findings (5–8) from the 2026-11-04 bug hunt; 1–4 were fixed in #319.
Changes
--version is resolved by pip (finding 5). The hook looked up versions in the pypi.org JSON API, so it ignored PIP_INDEX_URL and pip.conf and failed where only a mirror is reachable. A clang tool on PATH that matched --version was used but never remembered, so every run went to PyPI and failed offline.
--version=21 now runs pip install "clang-tidy==21.*" --target <env>/cpp-linter-hooks/clang-tidy-21; --version=21.1.6 uses ==21.1.6.*. The installed version is read from the wheel's dist-info, so existing installs (named by full version) are still found.
Removed: the PyPI JSON lookup, version sorting and prefix matching, the PATH version check and the offline PATH fallback (about 150 lines). The wheel is always installed once and reused.
A version without a wheel fails with pip's error, which lists every version that exists.
Files with other suffixes (finding 6). A file whose suffix the hook does not know (for example .m added with types_or) turned the files before it into clang-tidy options, so they were left out of --line-filter and their warnings were dropped. A trailing existing file now counts as a source file unless it follows an option (--export-fixes fixes.yaml stays an option), and .m is a known suffix.
-- in args (finding 7). With args: ["--", "-std=c++17"], pre-commit put the files (and the hook's -fix) after --, so clang-tidy got no input files and printed its help. The files now go before -- in every command, also with -j and split commands.
README (finding 8 and the above).compile_flags.txt needs -xc++ for C++ headers; the -- form; pip configuration is used for --version.
Testing
350 tests pass, 100% coverage; testing/run.sh 5/5. New tests for 5–7 fail on main.
Real tools: on main, plain.cpp x.m "with space.cpp" reported only with space.cpp, and -- -std=c++17 failed with "no input files"; both report every file now, also through real pre-commit.
--version=19 installed with PIP_NO_INDEX=1 PIP_FIND_LINKS=<dir> (no pypi.org); a second run with a broken PIP_INDEX_URL reused the install; --version=99 shows pip's version list.
-xc++ in compile_flags.txt fixes invalid argument '-std=c++17' not allowed with 'C' on a .h.
Release notes: users with a matching clang tool on PATH now get the wheel installed once instead of the PATH tool.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
clang-tidy now supports Objective-C source files and compiler flags supplied after --, including when running in parallel.
Source files are recognized more reliably when passed through different hook arguments.
Previously installed tool versions can be reused without network access.
Bug Fixes
Versioned tool installation now reports pip errors and identifies when the requested version is unavailable.
Documentation
Clarified package-index configuration, offline version reuse, and compiler flag requirements for compilation-database-free runs.
- A file with a suffix the hook does not know (for example `.m` added
with types_or) no longer turns the files before it into clang-tidy
options, which left them out of --line-filter so their warnings were
dropped. A trailing existing file now counts as a source file unless
it follows an option, and `.m` is a known suffix.
- With `args: ["--", "-std=c++17"]` the files and `-fix` went after
`--`, so clang-tidy got no input files. They now go before it.
- README: `-xc++` in compile_flags.txt for C++ headers, and the `--` form.
The hook looked up versions in the pypi.org JSON API, so it ignored
PIP_INDEX_URL and pip.conf and failed where only a mirror is reachable.
A clang tool on PATH that matched --version was used but never
remembered, so every run went to PyPI and failed offline.
pip now picks the version: --version=21 installs clang-tidy==21.*
into its own directory, named after the requested version, and the
installed version is read from the wheel's dist-info. The PyPI lookup,
the version sorting and the PATH check are gone. A version without a
wheel fails with pip's error, which lists the versions that exist.
System calls cannot be simulated consistently and are left out of the measure. The reported value understates the real cost. Switch to the Walltime instrument to measure them.
No successful run was found on main (e5f986e) during the generation of this report, so b085939 was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩

Walkthrough
The changes revise clang tool installation to use pip and installed wheel metadata. They also update clang-tidy argument parsing and command construction to support source files and compiler flags after --.
Changes
Clang tool installation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Wheel version discovery cpp_linter_hooks/util.py, tests/test_util.py
Wheel versions are read from .dist-info metadata across installation directories. Tests cover discovery and reuse based on recorded wheel versions.
Pip installation and resolution cpp_linter_hooks/util.py, tests/test_util.py, README.md
The resolver searches for matching installed wheels, installs through pip under a lock when needed, and reports install or missing-executable errors. The README describes pip’s version information, cached wheels, and package-index configuration.
Clang-tidy source and compiler arguments
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Source and compiler-argument parsing cpp_linter_hooks/clang_tidy.py, tests/test_clang_tidy.py, README.md
Source parsing recognizes .m files and eligible existing files. run_clang_tidy separates arguments after -- and considers them when checking for compiler flags. The README documents compile_flags.txt and compiler flags after --.
Serial and parallel command construction cpp_linter_hooks/clang_tidy.py, tests/test_clang_tidy.py
Serial and parallel invocations append compiler arguments after source files. Tests cover split invocations and argument ordering.
Validate versions before deleting installation directories and preserve compiler option operands before merging. Fresh installations can also select a different release than explicitly requested.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix: let pip resolve --version and check every file clang-tidy gets" matches the main changes. The PR replaces PyPI JSON lookup and PATH version detection with pip-driven installation for --version. It also makes clang-tidy receive trailing source files, including .m files, and places files before the -- compiler arguments. The title covers both main parts of the change, and the wording is specific. The title is a single sentence of 11 words, which is within the expected length.

- Around line 220-225: Validate the version in the tool-install flow before
constructing `target` or calling `shutil.rmtree`; reject versions containing
path separators so they cannot escape `_versions_dir()`. Preserve the existing
target cleanup and pip install behavior for valid versions.
- Line 220: Update the requirement selection in the installation flow that
builds the requirement from tool and version: when an exact version is
requested, try installing that exact release first, and use prefix matching only
if the exact release is unavailable.

Include custom-suffix files after valueless options.
When x.metal follows -quiet, the split leaves it out of the changed-line filter. clang-tidy can then suppress its warnings. Distinguish valueless options from options that consume a filename so selected files reach source_files.

Keep compiler option operands out of the source list.
When args contains ["--", "-include", "prefix.h"], the source scan moves prefix.h before -- and leaves -include without its operand. This can cause compilation errors instead of checking the appended source with the forced include. Distinguish compiler option operands from appended source files before reordering them.
