I have a CMake project that generates a compile_commands.json database, which is used by clangd to provide completion and errors for me. This worked well until I brought in stb_image.h (a single-header image loading library) to my project. stb_image uses the standard macro-based approach to define its symbols, which looks like this:
#define STB_IMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "stb_image.h"
In a source file. Now I've done something also quite common and standard in creating a separate source file stb_impl.cc just for these two lines hoping the resulting compilation unit would be picked up by CMake and put in compile_commands.json to avoid any problems with clangd not seeing the right info. But even so I'm stuck with this error:
Which only seems to occur with the macro definition, not with the include statement by itself. This is VS Code btw.
I have heard of the workaround of adding a post-process tool like compdb to explicitly add header files to compile_commands.json, but compdb isn't actively developed anymore and I'd rather not add any potential abandonware to my project. And I wonder if that would even fix my problem in the first place. Is there a better solution to be had here?
If anyone could help me to better understand what's going on here I would be grateful.
Edit: This is the clangd log when opening the file (lol_engine.cc in my project):

With CMake configured to a generate compile_commands.json for clangd to parse.
I have also tried defining STB_IMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION in a local .clangd file, but I still get the same diagnostic wherever stb_image.h is included.
I should also mention I do not get this problem when using neovim's LSP under WSL. Nor do I get it on VS Code under WSL.
Okay so as it turns out, making a
.clangdfile with the following contents does indeed fix this for me:I figured out that I was setting
-ferror-limitto very large values instead of zero and I guess those values just weren't large enough.I still don't know why this works, or how adding more errors makes the errors disappear, or where the errors go when they die, but this worked for me.
