// FIXME: move this information to an HTML file in docs/.
// At the very least, a checker plugin is a dynamic library that exports
// clang_analyzerAPIVersionString. This should be defined as follows:
//
//   extern "C"
//   const char clang_analyzerAPIVersionString[] =
//     CLANG_ANALYZER_API_VERSION_STRING;
//
// This is used to check whether the current version of the analyzer is known to
// be incompatible with a plugin. Plugins with incompatible version strings,
// or without a version string at all, will not be loaded.
//
// To add a custom checker to the analyzer, the plugin must also define the
// function clang_registerCheckers. For example:
//
//    extern "C"
//    void clang_registerCheckers (CheckerRegistry &registry) {
//      registry.addChecker<MainCallChecker>("example.MainCallChecker",
//        "Disallows calls to functions called main");
//    }
//
// The first method argument is the full name of the checker, including its
// enclosing package. By convention, the registered name of a checker is the
// name of the associated class (the template argument).
// The second method argument is a short human-readable description of the
// checker.
//
// The clang_registerCheckers function may add any number of checkers to the
// registry. If any checkers require additional initialization, use the three-
// argument form of CheckerRegistry::addChecker.
//
// To load a checker plugin, specify the full path to the dynamic library as
// the argument to the -load option in the cc1 frontend. You can then enable
// your custom checker using the -analyzer-checker:
//
//   clang -cc1 -load </path/to/plugin.dylib> -analyze
//     -analyzer-checker=<example.MainCallChecker>
//
// For a complete working example, see examples/analyzer-plugin.
