Visual Studio Code project/compile_commands.json generator for Linux kernel sources and out-of-tree modules
Visual Studio Code project for Linux kernel sources
Ensure the kernel is built (at least, all *.cmd
files should be generated):
$ make defconfig
$ make
Clone this repository as ".vscode":
$ git clone [email protected]:amezin/vscode-linux-kernel.git .vscode
Generate compile_commands.json:
$ python .vscode/generate_compdb.py
If you are not compiling kernel for x64, change intelliSenseMode
in
c_cpp_properties.json
. Possible values as of vscode-cpptools 1.0.1:
-
gcc-x86
-
gcc-x64
-
gcc-arm
-
gcc-arm64
Open the project:
$ code .
Out-of-tree builds
https://github.com/amezin/vscode-linux-kernel/issues/4
Kernel can be built with separate output directory:
$ make O=../linux-build defconfig
$ make O=../linux-build
In this case, you should pass the directory to generate_compdb.py
:
$ python .vscode/generate_compdb.py -O ../linux-build
compile_commands.json
will still be generated in the current directory (root of the linux
repository).
Unfortunately, tasks.json
will not work out of the box in this configuration (TODO).
Out-of-tree module development
If you build your module with this command:
$ make -C $KDIR M=$PWD modules
You could generate compile_commands.json
with:
$ python .vscode/generate_compdb.py -O $KDIR $PWD
