Very cool! Thanks Nate and welcome Manish!
I will definitely help where I can with this effort. And, yes, this is an important feature for the CDT.
I've been looking at both cquery and clangd to learn how they integrate with clang. Cquery is definitely the farthest ahead and pretty usable but uses libclang which has a limited API. Clangd is integrated right in the clang source tree which gives you everything but has been progressing slowing in areas we care about. But clangd seems to be growing significant corporate momentum and has the better architecture and will likely be a better choice long term.
Either one, the biggest feature missing in both for most of us is support for cross toolchains and replicating how we grab scanner info to feed the parser the right built-in include paths and macros and to massage the input so clang will parse these. That's what I'm focusing on now.
I'm excited to see this go forward. Made my day. Thanks again!
Doug.
