title: Using clang-tools but not CMake, is it possible?
body: <p>I would like to use some clang tools (e.g clang-tidy and clang-doc), however, these tools seem to be <a href="https://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">directly dependent on CMake</a>.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>In either case you need to configure your build using CMake to use clang tools.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I dogmatically don't use CMake so it's either finding a way a around or not using these tools at all. Are there any libraries that can generate the compilation database or is there a way to generate it on your own?</p>
