VS Code CMake Sample

This workspace is a standalone CMake project for attaching the VS Code extension to a real clice session.

clice already auto-detects build/compile_commands.json, so this sample does not need any helper scripts or extra CMake glue.

The workspace contains two entry points:

main.cc: a traditional include-based example.
main_module.cc: a C++20 modules example that imports greeting_module.cppm.

Prepare The Workspace

From this directory:

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON

That is enough to generate build/compile_commands.json, which clice can discover automatically when this folder is opened as the workspace.

If you also want the sample binary:

cmake --build build

C++20 Modules

The module example is enabled automatically when CMake is using a compiler it can scan for C++20 modules:

Clang 16+
GCC 14+
MSVC 19.34+

If the active compiler is older than that, CMake still configures the workspace and builds sample_app, but it skips sample_module_app.

When you do have a supported compiler, main_module.cc and greeting_module.cppm will also appear in build/compile_commands.json, which makes this workspace useful for testing clice's module handling in an editor.
