A Python CLI tool that generates Clang's JSON Compilation Database (compile_commands.) for GNU make-based build systems. It parses compile commands via make's dry-run mode without requiring a clean build, making it faster than alternatives like Bear for large non-cmake codebases.
Use cases
- generate compile_commands. for a make-based C++ project
- enable clangd/YouCompleteMe code intelligence in non-cmake codebases
- parse a build log to extract compile commands
- generate compilation database without a clean rebuild
- support cross-compilation projects needing a compilation database
When to choose
- your project uses GNU make and you need a Clang compilation database
- you want faster database generation than Bear without a clean build
- you need to parse compile commands from existing build logs
When to avoid
- your project uses CMake, which already generates compile_commands.
- you need a full build interception tool rather than dry-run parsing
