bear

A tool to generate compilation databases for clang tooling. More information: https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear.

• Generate compile_commands.json by running a build command:

bear -- {{make}}

• Generate compilation database with a custom output file name:

bear --output {{path/to/compile_commands.json}} -- {{make}}

• Append results to an existing compile_commands.json file:

bear --append -- {{make}}

• Run in verbose mode to get detailed output:

bear --verbose -- {{make}}

• Force bear to use the preload method for command interception:

bear --force-preload -- {{make}}
