### [xcodebuild](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2339/_index.html)
[xcpretty](https://github.com/xcpretty/xcpretty) is a 3rd party tool that can parse the output of `xcodebuild` and generate a compile_commands.
```sh
xcodebuild | xcpretty -r json-compilation-database --output compile_commands.json
```
### stdout of an external command
If the initialization option `"compilationDatabaseCommand"` is set, the command will be executed by ccls to provide the JSON compilation database. ccls will read its stdout rather than read `compile_commands.json`. This may be useful when ccls cannot parse the `compile_commands.json` correctly (e.g. MSVC cl.exe, Intel C++ Compiler options)
