I’m working on an embedded project that runs on an Infineon TriCore MCU. The certified TriCore‑GCC and its binary libraries are Windows‑only, but I do most work on Linux.

To get quick syntax checks and unit‑tests locally I compile application‑only sources with the host GCC using CMock to generate mocks so the test build doesn’t need the vendor libraries.

This gives me a compile_commands.json, but every entry looks like this (shortened):

{
  "file": "core1/src/main.c",
  "directory": ".../build/tests/core1",
  "command": "/usr/bin/cc -DTESTING \
     -Icore1/src \
     -Itests/mocks                <‑‑ generated mocks
     -Itests/mocks/core1/libs/
     -Itests/mocks/..."
}

clangd indexes the mock headers instead of the actual library headers. Jump‑to‑definition ends up in mock/xy.h instead of core1/xy.h.

Right now the only option I see is having a top-level .clangd file that defines the includes for each core using path matching, but this wouldn't allow clangd to index the code base if I am not mistaken.

Maybe someone has a better idea.

Thanks for the input!

  • This "quick syntax checks" compile_commands.json already seems like a hack, trying to do more seems like its digging the hole deeper. Are you able to compile with TriCore-GCC at all from your Linux machine? I would wonder about trying to generate a compile_commands.json with TriCore-GCC a wine. Your cmake build step might not work in wine, but that could be enough to run configure to get compile_commands.json Commented Jul 30 at 13:26
  • I've read this over but I'm not sure what the actual question is. What is the behaviour that you'd like to see? Commented Aug 9 at 19:05
