To generate compile_commands.json for CMake or Meson, configure your project setup to export the compilation database into an out-of-source build directory. This ensures accurate tooling integration for clangd and clang-tidy across your C++ project.

Yes, Bear and compiledb are supported workflows for generating compile_commands.json in Make-based C++ projects. This ensures your build configuration is reliably instrumented and wired to tooling like clang-tidy and IWYU.

To set up multi-config builds for Debug, Release, and sanitizer runs, use the pre-defined commands and workflows provided. This ensures reliable, reproducible C++ builds and proper tooling integration across different build configurations.

clangd fails to find headers when compile_commands.json is missing or incorrectly wired to your build system. This Skill provides build-failure triage guidance to fix tooling integration issues and ensure accurate C++ code analysis.

Yes, this build tooling supports Bazel C++ projects by providing clear guidance to export compile_commands.json. It covers setup, out-of-source builds, and tooling integration to ensure reliable, reproducible builds across supported systems.
