Are you thinking of tools that are invoked instead of the compiler, like clazy-
standalone? I thought about mentioning a potential interest of my idea for using
such tools (but forgot in the end).
Yes, that and all the other tools supported by CMake as a "pre-command"
before the compiler invocation (e.g. clang-tidy, iwyu,...)
Specific support for -fsyntax-only may not be relevant for those tools, but a
build mode where the final step of each build product is not taken would
probably
be useful there, indeed. Such a mode might even create an empty file with the
intended name, so that there's something to refer to later during a build.
I've been considering to write a little wrapper one could "inject" using
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER but there is no equivalent for the final product
generation step (linker, librarian).
So if we can achieve a light build mode, that would be great. In my case
I could completely deactivate the build part including the syntax
checking since that's done by the static analysis tools anyway.
You'd get that by setting your analysis tool as the compiler.
I did not think of doing that. I'll have to play with it, but I think
the final product step will still be an issue.
