Clazy 1.15 Released – New Checks, Better Stability

🎉 New Clazy Release: Stability Boost & New Checks!

We’re excited to roll out a new Clazy release packed with bug fixes, a new check, and improvements to existing checks. This release included 34 commits from 5 contributors.

🔍 New Features & Improvements

• New Check: readlock-detaching
  Detects unsafe and likely unwanted detachment of member-containers while holding a read lock. For example, when calling .first() on the mutable member instead of .constFirst()

• Expanded Support for Detaching Checks
  Additional methods now covered when checking for detaching temporary or member lists/maps. This includes reverse iterators on many Qt containers and keyValueBegin/keyValueEnd on QMap. All those methods have const counterparts that allow you to avoid detaching.

• Internal Changes With this release, Clang 19 or later is a required dependency. All older versions needed compatibility logic and were not thouroughly tested on CI. In case you are on an older Version of a Debian based distro, consider using https://apt.llvm.org/ and compile Clazy from source ;)
