Detailed Description

Interface for compilation databases.

A compilation database allows the user to retrieve all compile command lines that a specified file is compiled with in a project. The retrieved compile command lines can be used to run clang tools over a subset of the files in a project.

std::unique_ptr< CompilationDatabase > clang::tooling::CompilationDatabase::autoDetectFromDirectory ( StringRef  SourceDir,
std::string &  ErrorMessage 
) [static]

Tries to detect a compilation database location and load it.

Looks for a compilation database in directory 'SourceDir' and all its parent paths by calling loadFromDirectory.

Definition at line 97 of file CompilationDatabase.cpp.

std::unique_ptr< CompilationDatabase > clang::tooling::CompilationDatabase::autoDetectFromSource ( StringRef  SourceFile,

Tries to detect a compilation database location and load it.

Looks for a compilation database in all parent paths of file 'SourceFile' by calling loadFromDirectory.

virtual std::vector<CompileCommand> clang::tooling::CompilationDatabase::getAllCompileCommands ( ) const [pure virtual]

Returns all compile commands for all the files in the compilation database.

FIXME: Add a layer in Tooling that provides an interface to run a tool over all files in a compilation database. Not all build systems have the ability to provide a feasible implementation for getAllCompileCommands.

Implemented in clang::tooling::FixedCompilationDatabase, clang::tooling::JSONCompilationDatabase, and ArgumentsAdjustingCompilations.

virtual std::vector<std::string> clang::tooling::CompilationDatabase::getAllFiles ( ) const [pure virtual]

Returns the list of all files available in the compilation database.

Implemented in clang::tooling::FixedCompilationDatabase, clang::tooling::JSONCompilationDatabase, and ArgumentsAdjustingCompilations.

virtual std::vector<CompileCommand> clang::tooling::CompilationDatabase::getCompileCommands ( StringRef  FilePath) const [pure virtual]

Returns all compile commands in which the specified file was compiled.

This includes compile comamnds that span multiple source files. For example, consider a project with the following compilations: $ clang++ -o test a.cc b.cc t.cc $ clang++ -o production a.cc b.cc -DPRODUCTION A compilation database representing the project would return both command lines for a.cc and b.cc and only the first command line for t.cc.

Implemented in clang::tooling::FixedCompilationDatabase, clang::tooling::JSONCompilationDatabase, and ArgumentsAdjustingCompilations.

std::unique_ptr< CompilationDatabase > clang::tooling::CompilationDatabase::loadFromDirectory ( StringRef  BuildDirectory,
std::string &  ErrorMessage 
) [static]

Loads a compilation database from a build directory.

Looks at the specified 'BuildDirectory' and creates a compilation database that allows to query compile commands for source files in the corresponding source tree.

Returns NULL and sets ErrorMessage if we were not able to build up a compilation database for the build directory.

FIXME: Currently only supports JSON compilation databases, which are named 'compile_commands.json' in the given directory. Extend this for other build types (like ninja build files).
