How to use clangd C/C++ LSP in any project

tl;dr: If you want to just know the method, skip to How to section

Clangd is a state-of-the-art C/C++ LSP that can be used in every popular text editors like Neovim, Emacs or VS Code. Even CLion uses clangd under the hood. Unfortunately, clangd requires compile_commands.json to work, and the easiest way to painlessly generate it is to use CMake.

For simple projects you can try to use Bear - it will capture compile commands and generate compile_commands.json. Although I could never make it work in big projects with custom or complicated build systems.

But what if I tell you you can quickly hack your way around that, and generate compile_commands.json for any project, no matter how compilcated? I have used that way at work for years, originaly because I used CLion which supported only CMake projects - but now I use that method succesfully with clangd and Neovim.

Minimal D3D11

Minimal D3D11 reference implementation: An uncluttered Direct3D 11 setup + basic rendering primer and API familiarizer. Complete, runnable Windows application contained in a single function and laid out in a linear, step-by-step fashion that should be easy to follow from the code alone. ~200 LOC. No modern C++ / OOP or (other) obscuring cruft. View on YouTube
