Subject: [PATCH 11/15] devtool: ide-sdk: support clangd for non-clang toolchain recipes
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 23:53:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909215337.89106-12-adrian.freihofer@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909215337.89106-1-adrian.freihofer@siemens.com>
From: Adrian Freihofer <adrian.freihofer@siemens.com>
Make the IntelliSense provider choice independent of TOOLCHAIN.
clangd ships in the clang recipe, whose "clang-native" is only pulled
into RECIPE_SYSROOT_NATIVE via clang-cross-* when TOOLCHAIN == "clang".
Introduce a new bitbake variable IDE_SDK_INTELLISENSE which can be set
to "clangd" on a gcc (or other non-clang) recipe.
This requires adding the clang-native recipe to the sysroots in addition
to the recipes TOOLCHAIN. Add RecipeModified.update_bbappend(), mirroring
RecipeImage's marker-section bbappend management: which adds
DEPENDS:append = " clang-native" to the recipe's own workspace bbappend.
