Configuration¶
Contents
Clangd has a bunch of command-line options that can change its behaviour in certain situations. This page aims to define those configuration knobs.
Those command line arguments needs to be specified in an editor-specific way. You can find some editor specific instructions in here.
–query-driver¶
Clangd makes use of clang behind the scenes, so it might fail to detect your standard library or built-in headers if your project is making use of a custom toolchain. That is quite common in hardware-related projects, especially for the ones making use of gcc (e.g. ARM’s arm-none-eabi-gcc).
You can specify your driver as a list of globs or full paths, then clangd will execute drivers and fetch necessary include paths to compile your code.
- For example if you have your compilers at:
- /path/to/my-custom/toolchain1/arm-none-eabi-gcc,
- /path/to/my-custom/toolchain2/arm-none-eabi-g++,
- /path/to/my-custom2/toolchain/arm-none-eabi-g++,
you can provide clangd with –query-driver=/path/to/my-custom/**/arm-none-eabi* to enable execution of any binary that has a name starting with arm-none-eabi and under /path/to/my-custom/. This won’t allow execution of the last compiler.
Full list of flags¶
