No disagreement.  I also see this as a bug in meson, but don't really
care enough to debate that with them.  If we can fix all our code to
still be successful, we might as well do that.

(b), just the files to be built.  I don't understand how you run clang-tidy
on code that doesn't have compile_commands.json entries.  The whole
point of that compile_commands.json is to pass all the same -D
directives, etc. to clang-tidy as you would to the compiler.  There is
no compile_commands.json entries for header files.
