Live Code Analysis
------------------
While developing the Haiku codebase, it is possible to generate an inventory of compile commands
by passing the **-c** flag to jam. The resulting **compile_commands.json** document will assist
tools such as clangd_ in live analyzing our source code.
.. code-block::
:caption: Generating the **compile_commands.json** for clangd:
$ mkdir generated.clangd && cd generated.clangd
$ configure --build-cross-tools x86_64 --cross-tools-source ../../buildtools
$ jam -anc @nightly-anyboot
$ ln -sr compile_commands.json ../compile_commands.json
When you use an editor which supports clangd_ such as helix_ or vim_ (with the clangd plugin),
clangd_ will have knowledge of the relevant include paths and build flags for every source file
within the Haiku codebase.
.. TIP::
When new source code files are added, you will need to run though the process above for a
complete database.
