## Summary - Add `ensure_pch()` helper to MasterServer that builds/reuses precompiled headers via stateless workers, with preamble hash-based staleness detection (xxh3_64bits) - Fix `BuildPCHParams` to carry `preamble_bound` so the stateless worker truncates content at the preamble boundary (fixes redefinition errors when PCH included full file) - Wire PCH into both `run_build_drain` (stateful compile path) and `forward_stateless` (completion/signatureHelp path) - Add PCH state cleanup on `didClose` and hash invalidation on `didSave` ## Test plan - [x] 398 unit tests pass (including 6 new PCH tests: PreambleHash x3, PCHWorker x2, BuildPCHRequest assertion) - [x] 5 new integration tests pass (`test_pch.py`: diagnostics on open, body edit recompile, no-include file, hover with PCH, completion with PCH) - [x] 21 existing integration tests pass unchanged - [x] Build succeeds with 0 errors 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Precompiled header (PCH) caching to speed compilations and reduce edit latency * Automatic attachment of cached PCH to compile requests, improving hover and completion responsiveness * Module-aware completions expanded to include available module artifacts from other files * **Bug Fixes** * PCH cache cleared on file close; saving now triggers broader PCH invalidation to prevent stale PCH use * **Tests** * Added unit and integration tests exercising PCH build, reuse, and editor interactions <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
clice
clice is a next-generation language server designed for modern C++. Through excellent asynchronous task scheduling and intelligent caching, it achieves a lower memory footprint and faster response times.
Beyond performance, clice provides instantiation-aware template processing, supports switching header contexts between different source files (including non-self-contained headers), and offers comprehensive support for C++20 modules, from code completion to go-to-definition. Our goal is to provide C++ developers with a truly fast, precise, and intelligent development companion.
Important
Support for header contexts and C++20 modules are core features currently under active development. They will be progressively refined in upcoming releases. Stay tuned!
Getting started
Download the latest clice binary from the releases page and install the vscode extension. Then, add the following configuration to your .vscode/settings.json file:
{
// Optional: Set this to an empty string to turn off the clangd.
"clangd.path": "",
// Point this to the clice binary you downloaded.
"clice.executable": "/path/to/your/clice/executable",
}
Note
As an early version, please do not use it in a production environment. Crashes are expected, and we welcome you to submit issues.
