From the clang documentation it seems a plugin is a suitable interface if one wants to: special lint-style warnings or errors for your project Which is what I was trying to achieve. Are there any advantages of libclang that you see?
Only advantage I see to using libclang is that you can run programs built with libclang regardless of what your C compiler is. I typically use GCC.
I think your idea of automating this kind of thing is great no matter how it is implemented.
