Features

Clang Compilation Database

This extension provides a command Bazel/C++: Generate Compilation Database (bsv.cc.compdb.generate) that produces a file ${workspaceDirectory}/compile_commmands.json that assists with Intellisense for Bazel/C++ repositories.

To setup, edit your workspace settings (search for bsv.cc.compdb.targets) and configure a list of bazel labels for the cc_binary or cc_library targets you'd like to be indexed. The tool will then produce a command set for the transitive closure of those top-level targets.

To configure the bazel executable and/or additional bazel build arguments, use the bsv.bazel.executable and bsv.bazel.buildFlags settings (provided by bazel-stack-vscode).

These can be added to your .vscode/settings.json and checked-in to VCS as follows:

{
    ...
    "bsv.bazel.buildFlags": [
        "--config=custom",
    ],
    "bsv.cc.compdb.targets": [
        "//app/foo:foo_binary",
        "//app/bar:bar_binary",
        "//app/baz:baz_binary",
    ]
}
