Description
The misc-include-header check for clang tidy is not properly identifying which header provides a particular function.
I believe this likely due to the function having an overload defined in different files.
Reproducibility:
// clang_tidy_issue.cpp
#include "clang_tidy_issue.h"
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
time("hello", [] { sleep(1); });
}
// clang_tidy_issue.h
#pragma once
#include <chrono>
#include <functional>
#include <string>
inline size_t time(const std::string& prefix, std::function<void()> func) {
auto thread_local timer_start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
func();
auto thread_local timer_stop = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
const size_t dur = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::nanoseconds>(timer_stop - timer_start).count();
printf("[%s] took %ld nanos", prefix.c_str(), dur);
return dur;

In this example, I believe it is trying to find the time_t time( time_t *arg ); function defined in <time.h>
