Yes, LSP people do need the access to "compilation database", either to a parser directly or better to a service that can query compile_command.json

Thanks Alexander. Can you expand on this please? When using LSP, what does the front-end need to read from compile_commands.json? AFAIU the language server needs to read the compile_commands.json file itself, so what additional stuff does the IDE need to read? Perhaps I am misunderstanding how this works?

Thanks
