ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear vs. ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ Build EAR

The compilation database tool (https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear), is extremely helpful. It got CCLS/clangd working for me over multiple in-house build systems at a vfx studio.

It also is super helpful for debugging. I have used it a lot alongside a script which converts a compile_commands.json to a sequence of commands, so I can edit them individually without fiddling with the build system, and then once fixed (such as adding a flag to one TU) try to find the way to do that in the build system.
