Bug#814420: clang-tidy-3.8 missing JSON database

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: clang-tidy-3.8
Version: 1:3.8~+rc2-1~exp1
Severity: important

According to the upstream documentation at:

    http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/
    
the command:

    > clang-tidy-3.8 bool_switch.cc -checks=-*,clang-analyzer-*

should work. Instead I get:

    Error while trying to load a compilation database:
    Could not auto-detect compilation database for file "bool_switch.cc"
    No compilation database found in /home/erikd or any parent directory
    json-compilation-database: Error while opening JSON database: No such file or directory
    Running without flags.
