I do actually have clangd enabled at the moment in emacs: but my experience is not good, because typically what happens is that clangd runs itself out of memory and falls over fairly frequently, or it produces obscure error messages like "LSP :: Error from the Language Server: trying to get AST for non-added document (Invalid Parameter)"... So I mostly continue to investigate code the way I always have done, with grep. -- PMM
