when both a check and its alias are enabled, we should only take the fixes of one of them and not both.

It may be worth verifying that the fix-its are identical too, multiple versions of a check could be running with differing options resulting in different fix-its generated, in that case we should let clang-tidy disable any conflicting fixes for us.
Side note would it not be nicer to just group the diagnostics into one, thinking either of these ways
CHECK-MESSAGES: warning: use emplace_back instead of push_back [hicpp-use-emplace, modernize-use-emplace] CHECK-MESSAGES: warning: use emplace_back instead of push_back [hicpp-use-emplace] [modernize-use-emplace]
This would result in cleaner diagnostics emitted and remove the need for that note.

4 | I wanted to use cstdio but the test fails with 'file not found', don't know if it's specific on my host, anyway I`ll remove this include (and the printf) |
I think this is a nice approach. It also helps the case where a user sees a false positive diagnostic and tries to disable it in their config file. Under the removing duplicates behavior, the user would have a harder time discovering what tests to disable, but under the above approach, they'd have all the information they need up front.

4 | <cstdio> would have been wrong anyway -- clang-tidy (like clang) tests should not include system headers (unless they're faked system header so they're consistent across build bots). |
Regarding different fix-its generated:
you are right, in order to fix it, I had to add StringMap::operator == (soon I`ll update the diff), I hope it's OK.
I added the option cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-member-init.UseAssignment to check it, but the result I got was something like:
int _num2 = 0{};
I think that if the fix-its aren't the same, both of them should be disabled with warning about it, what do you think?
Regarding placing all errors of all aliases in one error:
My original goal was to fix the bug that was introduce since clang-tidy-9, what you are suggesting sounds really cool, but I am still new to this code,
Any idea how can I implement such feature? also what should I do if the options of the alias checks aren't the same?
I have made the needed changes in order to detect a conflict in duplicated fix-it of aliased checkers and also added a test for it.
Now I`ll try to work on combining aliased errors together, any tips regarding this feature?
Here is a quick draft I built up for this ClangTidyDiagnosticsConsumer.cpp lmk what you think.
Some of the handling probably can be changed for conflicting fix its.
Thank you @njames93, I already started and took a bit different approach.
In case of a conflict, leaving it to clang-tidy itself didn't help as it added both of the fix-its together resulting in = 0{};, so I thought it will be better to disable both of them.
Sadly I didn't find 3 aliased checkers which can be configured to produce different code so I can't check this edge case.
Please let me know if another changes are needed for this patch
Fair enough, your solution looks a lot nicer than what I suggested anyway.
Sadly I didn't find 3 aliased checkers which can be configured to produce different code so I can't check this edge case.

You could create a unit test for 3 aliased checks with different options, however if there isn't a check that users can use to reproduce that edge case there is no point in worrying about it.

776 | regarding your comment about 3 fix-it, as we walked before, there isn't a case like that (I didn't find any) as I wanted to make a test out of it.
I am open for suggestions about how to re-write this message :) |
LGTM aside from a few small nits, but please wait a bit for @njames93 in case they have final thoughts.

776 | I would reword it to be a run-on sentence: cannot apply fix-it because an alias checker has suggested a different fix-it; please remove one of the checkers ('{0}', '{1}') or ensure they are both configured the same This also nicely removes the nit about terminating punctuation in a diagnostic. | |

249 | I think this should still be renamed. How about removeDuplicatedDiagnosticsOfAliasCheckers()? |
I fixed all as your comments suggested, thanks :)
If this patch is ready, can someone commit it on my behalf please? (I don't have write permissions)
Thank you.
