wrapper_c

WRAPPER_C is a compiler wrapper. It is another Clang's JSON compilation database generator for make-based build systems.

Unlike Bear which uses LD_PRELOAD, wrapper_c exploits the implicit variables CC and CXX to intercept the compilation commands from make and forwards the commands to the compiler.

Usage

Usage: ./wrapper_c [OPTION]... -- compiler

OPTION
        -h, --help      Help
        -v, --version   Version
        -n, --no_exec   Don't execute the command for the compiler.
        -d, --debug     Activate the logging.
