• clangd setting

  • Under each project folder, there should be a compile_commands.json which configure the compile parameters for each .c and .h file.
  • Auto generate the compile_command.json by the following script

  > bear -- make
  > compdb -p ./ list > compile_commands.compdb.json
  > mv compile_commands.compdb.json compile_commands.json

  • In case of some project header files are not self contained, that makes compile error from clangd, for purpose of removing the those errors, you can add the default header files to ~/.config/clangd/config.yaml

  If:                               # Apply this config conditionally
    PathMatch: .*\.*                # to all headers and c files...
  CompileFlags:                     # Tweak the parse settings
    Add: [-include postgres.h, -include c.h, -include relcache.h]
