The command clang-tidy ${filename-cpp} is used to run the Clang-Tidy tool on a specific C++ source file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

clang-tidy: This is the executable for the Clang-Tidy tool. Clang-Tidy is a static code analysis tool for C++ that helps identify potential bugs and stylistic issues in the code.
${filename-cpp}: This is a placeholder for the name of the C++ source file you want to analyze. In this command, you are expected to replace ${filename-cpp} with the actual name of the file you want to analyze, including the .cpp extension.

When you run this command, Clang-Tidy will analyze the specified C++ file and provide you with a list of suggestions and warnings based on the configured rules. These suggestions can help improve code quality, performance, and maintainability.
