Export Compile Commands - ECC

Module implementing support for JSON Compilation Database Format Specification.

This is an alternative to tarruda's module, which does one simple thing - generates one compile_commands.json file for your project.

Tested with clangd-13.

Requirements

Premake 5.0.0 or later.

How to use

Download premake-ecc and place it near your premake5.lua script. Then require it from your premake script

require "ecc/ecc"

After you simply can call:

premake5 ecc

Moldule will generate one compile_commands.json file near your main premake script. During generation it will use the default config (the first one you have specified in script). If you want to select specific config just pass it's name with command line option:

premake5 --config=release ecc

Careful! config option case sensitive! If there is no config passed via command line, module will choose the default one.

Note: if you want to embed this module into your premake build follow the manual
