compile_command.json
is a compilation database files used by different clangd based IDEs and editors for more accurate code completion.In this patch a make target
compile-commands
is added as a PHONY target which creates such a file. The target is PHONY for easy updating of the database file.The logic used for creating is trivial and will treat all files as C++ (even the
.m
,.mm
and.c
files) and won't do escaping of"
in any path. The resulting file is created in the root directory, not inside the build dir, so IDEs and tools can find it easily.Information on
compile_commands.json
can be found on https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html
