Makefile: add support for generating JSON compilation database Tools based on LibClang [1] can make use of a 'JSON Compilation Database' [2] that keeps track of the exact options used to compile a set of source files. For example, clangd [3], which is a C language server protocol implementation, can use a JSON compilation database to determine the flags needed to compile a file so it can provide proper editor integration. As a result, editors supporting the language server protocol (such as VS Code, Emacs, or Vim, with suitable plugins) can provide better searching, integration, and refactoring tools. The Clang compiler can generate JSON fragments when compiling [4], using the `-MJ` flag. These JSON fragments (one per compiled source file) can then be concatenated to create the compilation database, commonly called 'compile_commands.json'. Add support to the Makefile for generating these JSON fragments as well as the compilation database itself, if the environment variable 'GENERATE_COMPILATION_DATABASE' is set. If this variable is set, check that $(CC) indeed supports the `-MJ` flag, following what is done for automatic dependencies. All JSON fragments are placed in the 'compile_commands/' directory, and the compilation database 'compile_commands.json' is generated as a dependency of the 'all' target using a `sed` invocation.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
