However, a small bit of configuration is needed for it to work correctly with SerenityOS. + +The following `.clangd` should be placed in the project root: +```yaml +CompileFlags: + CompilationDatabase: Build/x86_64 # Or whatever architecture you're targeting, e.g. aarch64 + Add: [-D__serenity__] +``` + +You also need to configure the clangd server to detect headers properly from the Serenity toolchain. To do this, create a `.helix/languages.toml` file in the project root: +```toml +[[language]] +name = "cpp" +language-server = { command = "clangd", args=["--query-driver=/path/to/serenity/Toolchain/Local/**/*", "--header-insertion=never"] } +``` + +> Make sure to replace `/path/to/serenity` with the actual path in the snippet above! -- cgit v1.2.3
