# cquery
|
|
|
|
[](https://gitter.im/cquery-project/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
|
|
|
|
cquery is a highly-scalable, low-latency language server for C/C++. It is tested
|
|
and designed for large code bases like
|
|
[Chromium](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/). cquery provides
|
|
accurate and fast semantic analysis without interrupting workflow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cquery implements almost the entire language server protocol and provides
|
|
some extra features to boot:
|
|
|
|
* code completion (with both signature help and snippets)
|
|
* references
|
|
* type hierarchy (parent type, derived types, expandable tree view)
|
|
* calls to functions, calls to base and derived functions, call tree
|
|
* symbol rename
|
|
* goto definition, goto base method
|
|
* document and global symbol search
|
|
* hover tooltips showing symbol type
|
|
* diagnostics
|
|
* code actions (clang FixIts)
|
|
* darken/fade code disabled by preprocessor
|
|
* #include auto-complete, undefined type include insertion, include quick-jump
|
|
(goto definition, document links)
|
|
* auto-implement functions without a definition
|
|
|
|
# Setup - build cquery, install extension, setup project
|
|
|
|
There are three steps to get cquery up and running. Eventually, cquery will be
|
|
published in the vscode extension marketplace which will reduce these three
|
|
steps to only project setup.
|
|
|
|
## Build cquery
|
|
|
|
Building cquery is simple. The external dependencies are few:
|
|
|
|
- relatively modern c++11 compiler (ie, clang 3.4 or greater)
|
|
- python
|
|
- git
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ clang --version # if missing, sudo apt-get install clang
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/jacobdufault/cquery --recursive
|
|
$ cd cquery
|
|
$ ./waf configure
|
|
$ ./waf build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install extension
|
|
|
|
cquery includes a vscode extension; it is part of the repository. Launch vscode
|
|
and install the `vscode-extension.tsix` extension. To do this:
|
|
|
|
- Hit `F1`; execute the command `Install from VSIX`.
|
|
- Select `vscode-extension.vsix` in the file chooser.
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT:** Please reinstall the extension when you sync the code base - it is
|
|
still being developed.
|
|
|
|
If you run into issues, you can view debug output by running the
|
|
(`F1`) `View: Toggle Output` command and opening the `cquery` output section.
|
|
|
|
## Project setup
|
|
|
|
### compile_commands.json (Best)
|
|
|
|
To get the most accurate index possible, you can give cquery a compilation
|
|
database emitted from your build system of choice. For example, here's how to
|
|
generate one in ninja. When you sync your code you should regenerate this file.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ninja -C out/Release -t compdb cxx cc > compile_commands.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the `compile_commands.json` is not in the top-level workspace directory,
|
|
then the `cquery.misc.compilationDatabaseDirectory` setting can be used to
|
|
specify its location.
|
|
|
|
### cquery.index.extraClangArguments
|
|
|
|
If for whatever reason you cannot generate a `compile_commands.json` file, you
|
|
can add the flags to the `cquery.index.extraClangArguments` configuration
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
### clang_args
|
|
|
|
If for whatever reason you cannot generate a `compile_commands.json` file, you
|
|
can add the flags to a file called `clang_args` located in the top-level
|
|
workspace directory.
|
|
|
|
Each argument in that file is separated by a newline. Lines starting with `#`
|
|
are skipped. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Language
|
|
-xc++
|
|
-std=c++11
|
|
|
|
# Includes
|
|
-I/work/cquery/third_party
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Building extension
|
|
|
|
If you wish to modify the vscode extension, you will need to build it locally.
|
|
Luckily, it is pretty easy - the only dependency is npm.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build extension
|
|
$ cd vscode-client
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
$ code .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When VSCode is running, you can hit `F5` to build and launch the extension
|
|
locally.
|
|
|
|
# Limitations
|
|
|
|
cquery is able to respond to queries quickly because it caches a huge amount of
|
|
information. When a request comes in, cquery just looks it up in the cache
|
|
without running many computations. As a result, there's a large memory overhead.
|
|
For example, a full index of Chrome will take about 10gb of memory. If you
|
|
exclude v8, webkit, and third_party, it goes down to about 6.5gb.
|
|

# Wiki
|
|
|
|
There are some additional tips on the [wiki](https://github.com/jacobdufault/cquery/wiki).
|
|
|
|
# Chromium tips
|
|
|
|
Chromium is a very large codebase, so cquery benefits from a bit of tuning.
|
|
Optionally add these to your settings:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Set slightly lower than your CPU core count to keep other tools responsive.
|
|
"cquery.misc.indexerCount": 50,
|
|
// Remove uncommonly used directories with large numbers of files.
|
|
"cquery.index.blacklist": [
|
|
".*/src/base/third_party/.*",
|
|
".*/src/native_client/.*",
|
|
".*/src/native_client_sdk/.*",
|
|
".*/src/third_party/.*",
|
|
".*/src/v8/.*",
|
|
".*/src/webkit/.*"
|
|
]
|
|
```
