Both CMake (since 2.8.5, see [1]) and Qbs (master branch) can generate this "compiler command database". Maybe your tool could be made to work with this DB (via clang-tidy) and as a clang plugin. The DB approach has the added advantage that it doesn't require modifying CXX flags, which can be a problem on projects that have "buggy" build files. Having your checks run by clang-tidy would also definitely widen your user base. clang-tidy have specific rules for LLVM, boost, google, ... Would be nice to add Qt.
