     10 //  This file implements the CommonOptionsParser class used to parse common
     11 //  command-line options for clang tools, so that they can be run as separate
     12 //  command-line applications with a consistent common interface for handling
     13 //  compilation database and input files.
     14 //
     15 //  It provides a common subset of command-line options, common algorithm
     16 //  for locating a compilation database and source files, and help messages
     17 //  for the basic command-line interface.
     18 //
     19 //  It creates a CompilationDatabase and reads common command-line options.
     20 //
     21 //  This class uses the Clang Tooling infrastructure, see
     22 //    http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html
     23 //  for details on setting it up with LLVM source tree.
