Support for compile_commands.json

This way it is possible to extract the correct include paths. (ideally this should be a companion crate, to be shared across other language servers, I know)

Support for compile_commands.json is definitely something I'm interested in adding to the project. Could you clarify which part of the functionality you'd like to see moved to a companion crate?

[lu-zero]

I mean, supporting compile_command.json works the same no matter the language:

• you need to parse the json
• figure out which of the lines apply to the current context
• extract from the lines the needed information

I'm sure clangd already does that for C/C++, not sure if there is already an existing crate that can be leveraged though.

Oh I see, I misread your initial post. Sorry about that! I'll spend some time looking into existing solutions, but I imagine we can just implement this ourselves without too much trouble.

Thank you :)
