wslpath-compdb

Converts all Windows paths in a compile_commands.json to WSL compatible ones.

Prerequisites

This script must be run on WSL, which must have the wslpath utility.

The JSON database must be in "arguments" format, not "command" (see example).

Usage

A compile_commands.json can be generated using compiledb, which can be installed as follows:

pip install git+https://github.com/shyun3/compiledb@support-cl-clang-cl

This fork and branch contains fixes for some issues in the main repo, see #120 and #124.

To generate the database, the following can be used when in the directory of a makefile:

make -Bnwk all | compiledb -f -o /path/to/compile_commands.json

This will create a compile_commands.json at the specified path.

Convert the JSON database using the script:

python3 wslpath_compdb.py -i /path/to/compile_commands.json

Note how the in-place option is used to modify the file.
