Subject: [PATCH v2] scripts/clang-tools: Handle included .c files in gen_compile_commands
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 20:45:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008004615.2690081-1-patso@likewhatevs.io> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251008003739.2659141-1-patso@likewhatevs.io>
The gen_compile_commands.py script currently only creates entries for the
primary source files found in .cmd files, but some kernel source files
text-include others (i.e. kernel/sched/build_policy.c).
This prevents tools like clangd from working properly on text-includedd c
files, such as kernel/sched/ext.c because the generated compile_commands.json
does not have entries for them.
Extend process_line() to detect when a source file includes .c files, and
generate additional compile_commands.json entries for them. For included c
files, use the same compile flags as their parent and add their parents headers.
This enables lsp tools like clangd to work properly on files like
kernel/sched/ext.c
