Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for posts on C++ tooling, including clang-tidy and clang-query refactoring across a codebase. Comments also discuss CMake guides in the context of a build-system overview.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Dreamer, but not the only one.

What Hacker News says?
Somehow I'm never happy with CMake guides. The official book is ridiculously outdated among other things, the official documentation is complete and current but provides no guidance, and none of the blog-documentation about it gives a complete picture. Some of it is bad advice. This one doesn't talk about the dependency graph, something I consider very important in a build system. It is also missing a lot of other s…

HN discussionMy list is mostly C++ focused, but the LLVM tooling for clang-tidy/clang-query is also worth a mention. There are a big set of refactors that you can apply across your codebase if you wanted to migrate to new C++ features for example. You can also write your own if you wanted to refactor to use the API of an updated dependency for example. It's a lower-level version of Javascript's "codemods" for C/C++. There's some…
