test-compilation-database

This repository demonstrates various ways to generate a compilation database for a C++ project. It serves as a test project to check compatibility with compilation database tools, such as different Clang tools.

1. Generating the compilation database in the raw directory

To generate the compilation database in the raw directory, simply run raw/tools/generate_compilation_database.sh. The output will be placed in the raw/out directory.

2. Generating the compilation database in the bazel directory

In the bazel directory, you'll find a simple Bazel project. There are two methods to generate the compilation database:

2.1. Running bazel/tools/generate_compilation_database.py

This script utilizes grailbio/bazel-compilation-database under the hood and adjusts the output paths to be relative to the project's root directory. The bazel project is already set up to use the grailbio/bazel-compilation-database tool.

2.2. Using kiron1/bazel-compile-commands

kiron1/bazel-compile-commands is a tool that generates a compilation database from Bazel without requiring modifications to the project's BUILD files. Build the tool and run it in the bazel directory.
