Run the following command in the V8 checkout: ninja -C out.gn/圆4.release -t compdb cxx cc > compile_commands.json This file will contain the specific compiler command lines used to build V8 to cquery. The last step is to generate a compile_commands.json to cquery. 'settings' : Provide compile_commands.json to cquery # Īdd the following to your workspace configuration, replacing YOURUSERNAME and YOURV8CHECKOUTDIR appropriately. Go to settings in VSCode, for example, via the shortcut Ctrl +. Install the cquery extension from the marketplace in VSCode. Install and configure cquery-plugin for VSCode # DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=release -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=YES & make install -j8). You can use git pull & git submodule update to update cquery at a later time (don't forget to rebuild via cmake. If anything goes wrong, be sure to check out cquery’s getting started guide. DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE =release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX =release -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS =YES We use CQUERY_DIR='$HOME/cquery' in this guide. Install cquery #Ĭlone cquery from cquery in a directory of your choice. The rest of this guide assumes that you can run VSCode from the command line via the command code.

This section describes how to get a basic setup on a *nix system. It offers “go to definition” as well as “find all references” for C++ symbols and works quite well. VSCode and cquery provide good code navigation capabilities. Note: as of 2020, indexing V8 with Eclipse does not work well. Eclipse #įor instructions how to set up Eclipse for V8, see this document. This is currently (2021) the recommended setup. Visual Studio Code and clangd #įor instructions how to set up VSCode for V8, see this document. See your client’s documentation for more information. This project’s Git repository may be accessed using many other client programs and plug-ins. The V8 source code can be browsed online with Chromium Code Search.
