Add new clang-tidy check that finds uses of `std::lock_guard` and suggests
replacing them with C++17's more flexible and safer alternative
`std::scoped_lock`.
Here is a small description of how it works for better understanding of
the code:
Two separate AST matchers are registered:
- The first one matches declarations of `std::lock_guard` that are
single in their scope (only one `std::lock_guard` in `CompoundStmt`).
It's an easy case, we can emit warning right away.
- The second one matches `CompoundStmt`'s that have multiple
`std::lock_guard` declarations, which means that we may have consecutive
declarations of `std::lock_guard` that can be replaced by a single
`std::scoped_lock`. In order to ensure that declarations are
consecutive, we need to loop over `Stmt`'s in `CompoundStmt`. Here is a
small example:
```cpp
{
std::mutex m1, m2;
std::lock(m1, m2);
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> l1(m, std::adopt_lock); // first declaration of 'std::lock_guard'
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> l2(m, std::adopt_lock); // second declaration of 'std::lock_guard' that can be merged with first using 'scoped_lock'
}
```

This repository holds tools that are developed as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project and the Clang frontend. These tools are kept in a separate "extra" repository to allow lighter weight checkouts of the core Clang codebase. All discussion regarding Clang, Clang-based tools, and code in this repository should be held using the standard Clang forum: https://discourse.llvm.org/c/clang Code review for this tree should take place on the standard Clang patch and commit lists: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits If you find a bug in these tools, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/
