- Description:
- Bear is a tool that generates a compilation database for clang
tooling. The JSON compilation database is used in the clang project
to provide information on how a single compilation unit is processed.
With this, it is easy to re-run the compilation with alternate
programs. One way to get a compilation database is to use cmake as
the build tool. Passing -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON to cmake
generates the compile_commands.json file into the current directory.
For non-cmake projects, Bear generates the JSON file during the
build process.
The concept behind Bear is: to execute the original build command
and intercept the exec calls issued by the build tool. To achieve
that, Bear uses the LD_PRELOAD or DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES mechanisms
provided by the dynamic linker.

- pkg-message:
- For install or upgrade:
- After src commit 8ccd0b876e, bear can no longer intercept compile commands using
the dynamic linker preload method. See
https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear/issues/557 for details.
An alternative method for bear to intercept compile commands is via wrappers.
This method requires links under /usr/local/lib/bear/wrapper.d/ to any command
called to build your program. The bear package now installs links to common
tools such as compilers and linkers. If a link is missing, create it manually,
submit a bug report, or supply links in a custom directory passed as an argument
to bear's --wrapper-dir flag.
The --force-wrapper option must be supplied when using the wrapper method.
Example:
% bear --force-wrapper -- make
