Invalid source location are causing clang-tidy to crash when manipulating an invalid file.
Macro definitions on the command line have locations in a virtual buffer and therefore
don't have a corresponding valid FilePath.
A recent patch added path conversion to absolute path. As the FilePath may now be empty,
the result of makeAbsolutePath may incorrectly be the folder WorkingDir. The crash occurs
in getLocation which is not able to find the appropriate FileEntry (null pointer).
SmallString<128> FixAbsoluteFilePath = Fix.getFilePath(); Files.makeAbsolutePath(FixAbsoluteFilePath); FixLoc = getLocation(FixAbsoluteFilePath, Fix.getOffset());
With relative path, the code was not crashing because getLocation was skipping empty path.
Example of code:
int main() { return X; }
With the given command-line:
clang-tidy test.cc --checks=misc-macro-* -- -DX=0+0
