Browse linux kernel source code resident in WSL with VSCODE and clangd.
There are many tutorials about browsing linux kernel code using vscode, but there is a problem, when some .c file included by another .c file to speed up compilation, such as deadline.c rt.c and idle.c included by build_policy.c, these file usually are not self-contained, and will not appear in compile_commands.json. Clangd has inferred where these file included, but has not parsed them correctly because they are not self-contained. There is a issue about this situation keep open since 2019.
This project fix this problem by adding these included .c files into compile_command.json with proper compiler options.
- VSCODE
- WSL2
Just clone this project and run:
./kernel.sh kernel_version [clang_suffix]example：
./kernel.sh 6.14.3 -19When successful, the new source code directory is automatically opened using vscode.
When you open the first file in vscode, clangd parses and caches all files.
For source base other than linux kernel there are many situation not handled precisely, including but not limited to:
- .cpp
- macro defined before where .c included in including file
