compile_flagz: Boosting C/C++ IDE Support in Zig Build Systems
2025-09-13
Zig's build system offers powerful cross-compilation capabilities for C/C++ projects, but editor support often lags due to missing include paths. compile_flagz addresses this by generating a `compile_flags.txt` file, a standard format used by language servers like clangd. This file provides the necessary compilation settings, enabling features like code completion and error highlighting. The author details its usage and implementation, showcasing its effectiveness in a game decompilation project (ROLLER). A quick start guide is also provided.
