landed, you can close it

Looks fine!

Any recipe to run the tests correctly would be nice :)

do you have commit rights ?

Should this option consider the checks provided with "-checks="? That would be in line with clang-tidy and would allow IDEs to query the checks enabled by default (providing -meta-checks but no -checks=).

Honoring -checks= would also mean that available_categories in checks.json needs to be adapted accordingly. That is, this patch would not only dump the compiled in string, but read the json, and filter it.

I'm not sure whether "-meta-checks" is descriptive enough. Can't come up with a better name right now. Suggestions?

How do I run the tests properly? I've tried running tests/run_tests.py from the build dir, but this results in many errors...

this landed, thanks!

Run ./dev-scripts/generate.py --generate (which reads the checks.json file)

pushed

needs a rebase, then it probably can be merged (if it's functionally equivalent, i.e. doesn't remove the env vars just yet)
then in another commit it can read from .clazy
