Riatre Foo 082096b613 Normalize paths on Windows
1. Normalize paths in LSP document URIs and project root to forward
slash and uppercase drive letters.
2. Normalize paths in compile_commands.json to forward slash and
uppercase drive letters.
3. Normalize paths from directory listing to forward slash. (Drive
letter should be same as input dir path, which is already uppercase
since path of project root dir is normalized)
4. Add llvm::sys::path::convert_to_slash after certain llvm::sys::path
and llvm::fs calls.

ccls

Telegram Gitter

ccls, which originates from cquery, is a C/C++/Objective-C language server.

It has a global view of the code base and support a lot of cross reference features, see wiki/FAQ. It starts indexing the whole project (including subprojects if exist) parallelly when you open the first file, while the main thread can serve requests before the indexing is complete. Saving files will incrementally update the index.

Compared with cquery, it makes use of C++17 features, has less third-party dependencies and slimmed-down code base. It leverages Clang C++ API as clangd does, which provides better support for code completion and diagnostics. Refactoring and formatting are non-goals as they can be provided by clang-format, clang-include-fixer and other Clang based tools.

The comparison with cquery as noted on 2018-07-15:

cquery ccls
third_party more fewer
C++ C++14 C++17
clang API libclang (C) clang/llvm C++
Filesystem AbsolutePath + custom routines llvm/Support
index libclang clangIndex, some enhancement
pipeline index merge+id remapping simpler and more robust

cquery has system include path detection (through running the compiler driver) while ccls uses clangDriver.

ccls can index itself (~180MiB RSS when ide, noted on 2018-09-01), FreeBSD, glibc, Linux, LLVM (~1800MiB RSS), musl (~60MiB RSS), ... with decent memory footprint. See wiki/compile_commands.json for examples.
