Error message because of empty PCH directory

See original GitHub issue

I don’t know if this is a bug or not, but when using clang-tidy on our projects (that is, single files from our projects), I get the following error/warning message (“stack trace” is attached): Get-ProjectStdafxDir : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'pchHeaderName' because it is an empty string.

Should I be concerned about this or can I ignore it? Or, better yet, can I fix it? I’ll probably not be able to change the VS project files, since they are generated by our build system.

Attached is a sample project that shows the error: libdetours.zip

I used an existing project and stripped it down, hence the name. Hope this helps.

Looks like your projects follow an unsual pattern: not including stdafx.h in the PCH CPP and specifying it as a force include in the .vcxproj file, specifically for the PCH CPP.

We’ve updated our PCH detection to handle this case as well. An updated version of ClangPowerTools (v4.1) is just about to be released; it will include this fix as well.

Thank you for your feedback.
