Any tool using `tooling::CommonOptionsParser` with the `llvm::cl::OneOrMore`
flag will have this problem, i.e., the `-h` flag will be seen, but no action
taken because it was never wired up. Please note that we changed `clang-tidy`
to use `cl::ZeroOrMore` a few years ago, so it'll spit out help with or without
any arguments, including `-h`. However, if you pass a bad argument with `-h`
you'll get an error, but no help.
Here are a few you can verify (first try with `-h`, then `-help`):
$ bin/clang-tidy -h -x
LLVM ERROR: CommonOptionsParser: failed to parse command-line arguments.
[CommonOptionsParser]: clang-tidy: Unknown command line argument '-x'. Try:
'bin/clang-tidy -help'
clang-tidy: Did you mean '-h'?
$ bin/clang-tidy -help -x
