compile_commands.json is used by clangd[1] to provide code navigation
and completion functionality to editors. See [2] for an example
configuration that includes this functionality for VSCode.
It can currently be built manually when using kunit.py, by running:
./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py -d .kunit
With this change however, it's built automatically so you don't need to
manually keep it up to date.
Unlike the manual approach, having make build the compile_commands.json
means that it appears in the build output tree instead of at the root of
the source tree, so you'll need to add --compile-commands-dir=.kunit to
your clangd args for it to be found. This might turn out to be pretty
annoying, I'm not sure yet. If so maybe we can later add some hackery to
kunit.py to work around it.

Hi,
I'm seeing quite a lot of breakage in mainline as a result of
daef47b89efd0b7 ("selftests: Compile kselftest headers with
-D_GNU_SOURCE") and daef47b89efd0 ("selftests: Compile kselftest headers
with -D_GNU_SOURCE") - thus far I've found that the use of
static_assert() is triggering build breaks where testsuites aren't
picking up the addition of _GNU_SOURCE (including stopping installing
the other tests in the same directory), and there's a bunch of tests
which #define _GNU_SOURCE in their code and now trigger build warnings.
I'm looking at fixes and mitigations now.
The build failures are taking out the ALSA tests entirely which has
caused my personal CI to explode badly :/
Thanks,
Mark
