Hi webkit-dev,
I'm trying to study the structure of web browsers in general and WebKit
specifically for academic purposes. I found that using language servers
that index compile_commands.json (clangd, ccls etc.) is a very good
solution to navigate source code of extremely large projects, such as
WebKit.
Unfortunately, I was only able to get compile_commands.json generated
when I compiled with --jsc-only where the build is executed using cmake
and not the perl script. Trying to pass --cmake as a build argument to
build-webkit causes the build to fail pretty early for missing files
(that I believe aren't open source).
To wrap it up, I wonder if there's a way to compile WebKit as a browser
(and not just JavaScriptCore) and have compile_commands.json generated?
