NeoVim Configuration for Linux Kernel Development

This is a lua based, bootstrap-able NeoVim Configuration for C development (for example, Linux Kernel or Qemu).

This repo is based on Allaman's NeoVim Configuration.

Prerequisite

1. Install NeoVim. Refer to NeoVim Installation Wiki
2. Have access to github.com. Proxy may need to be configured if sitting in internal network.

Install

1. Clone this repo to ~/.config/nvim
2. Launch 'nvim'. This will download all the necessary plugins automatically.
3. Quit nvim, and relaunch nvim. That's it.

Post-Install

1. Install language servers (clangd, bashls, etc.). Refer to server_configurations.md on how to install language servers.
2. Install Nerd font

Generate compile_commands.json for Linux Kernel

Run scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py after kernel compiling.

For arm64 cross compilation, Language Server clangd may not work. Create a file named .clangd in kernel source code directory to workaround:

[x48Jason@x48 linux]$ cat .clangd
CompileFlags:
  Remove: -mabi=lp64
[x48Jason@x48 linux]$
