Lint files and directories with include-what-you-use

Introduction

A wrapper script around include-what-you-use, suitable for linting multiple files and to use for continuous integration.

This is an alternative to iwyu-tool.py, that returns a sensible exit code, and make it easy to run on a subset of a compilation database.

How to use?

Copy run-iwyu.py in your project, then run it on specific files or whole directories:

./run-iwyu.py -b build/ src include foo.cpp

It's possible to exclude paths from the recursive search:

./run-iwyu.py \
    --exclude src/third_party \
    --exclude '*_test.cpp' \
    src include
