ClangCheck

ClangCheck is a small wrapper around LibTooling which can be used to do basic error checking and AST dumping.

$ cat <<EOF > snippet.cc
> void f() {
>   int a = 0
> }
> EOF

The ‘–’ at the end is important as it prevents clang-check from search for a compilation database. For more information on how to setup and use clang-check in a project, see How To Setup Clang Tooling For LLVM.
