How to configure clangd

When building a project: add -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1 to your cmake flags. Medit will find the compile_commands.json file that clangd uses to figure out compilation flags. You could also use some other type of generator like bear, that uses any build system and create the json file.

If you want to have more build flags to your project, a tip is to look up how clangd uses .clangd files in the project directory for local settings, or ~/.config/clangd/config.yaml for global settings.

Example of information to put in config.yaml:

CompileFlags:
  Add: [-I/usr/include/c++/11, -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/11, -I/usr/include/c++/11/backward, -I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/include, -I/usr/local/include, -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu, -I/usr/include]

Note that if you have multiplie compile_commands.json-files in your directory Medit could pick the wrong one.
