mgartmann added a comment. Thanks a lot for your feedback, @aaron.ballman!
I was able to incorporate it in the updated diff. On your advice, I also ran this check on a large open source project using the `run-clang-tidy.py` script. I decided to do it on the llvm project itself as follows: marco@nb:~/llvm-project/build$ python3 run-clang-tidy.py -checks="-*,cppcoreguidelines-virtual-class-destructor" -header-filter=".*" > result.txt marco@nb:~/llvm-project/build$ cat result.txt | grep "private and prevents" | wc -l 797 Most of these 797 lines are duplicates, since these warnings come from header files included in (apparently) many other files. Deduplicated, the following seven destructors were private and triggered this check's warning: - llvm-project/llvm/include/llvm/Analysis/RegionInfo.h:1024:23: warning: destructor of 'RegionInfoBase<llvm::RegionTraits<llvm::Function>>' is private ... - llvm-project/llvm/include/llvm/Analysis/RegionInfo.h:674:7: warning: destructor of 'RegionInfoBase' is private ... - llvm-project/llvm/include/llvm/CodeGen/MachineRegionInfo.h:177:23: warning: destructor of 'RegionInfoBase<llvm::RegionTraits<llvm::MachineFunction>>' is private ... - llvm-project/llvm/lib/Target/AVR/MCTargetDesc/AVRMCExpr.h:19:7: warning: destructor of 'AVRMCExpr' is private ... - llvm-project/llvm/utils/unittest/googletest/include/gtest/gtest.h:1257:18: warning: destructor of 'UnitTest' is private ... - llvm-project/llvm/lib/CodeGen/InlineSpiller.cpp:159:7: warning: destructor of 'InlineSpiller' is private ... - llvm-project/llvm/lib/Target/X86/MCTargetDesc/X86MCTargetDesc.cpp:387:7: warning: destructor of 'X86MCInstrAnalysis' is private ... I assume that these destructors are private by on purpose. Please correct me if I am wrong. A programmer working on the LLVM project would therefore see seven warnings for private destructors over the whole project. Is this number of private destructors which are flagged acceptable to you?
