To generate a compilation database from the information that the code model
has, select \uicontrol Build > \uicontrol {Generate Compilation Database}.
+ You can add files, such as non-C files, to the project in
+ \e {compile_database.json.files}.
+
You can use the experimental Compilation Database Project Manager to open
the files in a compilation database with access to all the editing features
provided by the Clang code model.
+ To switch between header and source files, select \uicontrol Tools >
+ \uicontrol C++ > \uicontrol {Switch Header/Source}.
+
+ You can specify custom build steps and run settings for compilation
+ database projects in the \uicontrol Projects mode. For more information,
+ see \l{Adding Custom Build Steps} and \l {Specifying Run Settings}.
