[clang-tidy] Missing checks with option `--list-checks`

[0hDEADBEAF]

Description: It seems that some checks listed on clang-tidy's documentation are not displayed when using the --list-checks option. Here's the list of the checks that are not shown with --list-checks option:

• bugprone-command-processor
• bugprone-throwing-static-initialization
• modernize-avoid-setjmp-longjmp
• modernize-avoid-variadic-functions
• readability-redundant-parentheses

Branch: main

Steps to reproduce: Just run the following command:

clang-tidy --list-checks --config="{Checks: '*'}"

Expected output: A list containing the 5 options mentioned above.

Actual output: A list missing the 5 options mentioned above.

@0hDEADBEAF What does clang-tidy --version say? You stated main branch, are you building clang-tidy yourself from github?

When I paste your command-line options into compiler explorer, those checks are listed:

[0hDEADBEAF]

clang-tidy --version returns the following:

LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
LLVM version 22.0.0git
Optimized build.

Yes, this has been tested through the clang-tidy built from the main branch sources.

I'm sorry, it seems I just forgot to update my local repository. I'm gonna update my sources to be up to date with the remote main branch and see whether I still have the problem or not. This is likely the cause of the issue I've encountered.

I don't know how often the godbolt trunk tree is resynced and built from git, but I couldn't reproduce it there.

I just pulled main and built clang-tidy and I couldn't reproduce this.

Indeed, I also pulled the main branch to be up-to-date with the remote repository and rebuilt clang-tidy from there. I could then see those 5 checks listed. Just a silly mistake from me.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
