QtCreator and ClangCodeModel plugin
I just installed QtCreator 4.7.2, which comes with ClangCodeModel plugin by default on. After my CMake project was parsed I saw much better highlighting of keywords in the code and also awesome intellisense handling of auto declared variables.
The downside was that the ClangCodeModel plugin was buggy, and gave me errors and warnings in parts of code that didn't make sense, especially the ones in 3rd party library header files. So I was forced to turn it off.
I'm wondering if Clang can be configured in QtCreator, so that minimal checks can happen. I played with these settings, but nothing made a difference:
1) Has anyone been able to configure this plugin in QtCreator so that it can work better? I am mostly concerned about intellisense. I can open the same CMake project in Visual Studio and I have much better intellisense there, but I prefer using Qt Creator.
2) If #1 is not possible because the plugin has bugs, what are the other means of improving intellisense in Qt Creator with CMake projects?

QtCreator 4.8 (currently the beta) comes with support for the language-server-protocol. This might be a good alternative

Probably those settings only apply to the visual output in the edit pane. I can see the warnings disappear when I apply "level0 checks" for instance. When I select "almost everything" option they re-appear instantly.

The screenshot you took is from the "Analyzer" settings.
The Analyzer performs on-demand checks like running static analysis, clang-tidy, callgrind, etc.
To configure the Code Model, you should go to "C++ > Code Model":
You also have the possibility to override this settings on a per-project basis:
In both cases you can, by clicking on Manage..., create your own configuration with whatever flags you want:
