Automate compile_flags for C/C++ projects on the Zig build system
A Zig package that generates compile_flags.txt files to provide proper editor integration for C/C++ projects using build.zig, ensuring your IDE can find include paths and provide code intelligence.
When using Zig’s build system for C/C++ projects, editors struggle to find include paths and provide proper code intelligence. However when working with said C/C++ code with Zig as your build system, your editor (or IDE) won’t be able to find the necessary include paths or libraries to make the developer experience seamless. Without these flags, clangd will often spectacularly fail to parse source code, generating many spurious errors (e.g.#included files not being found).
