[cfe-dev] Newcomer to Clangd

[Ilya Biryukov via cfe-dev]

+krasimir, who has been working on adding clangd support to ycmd.

There's currently no easy way to install clangd even into VSCode and no way
to use clangd with vim/Emacs.
So it's not surprising that we don't have any bugs for it, there aren't
many users.
It would be really nice to have releases of clangd binary and plugins for
major text editors.
So having an Emacs integration would be really great at that point.

The VSCode plugin is under
http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/clang-tools-extra/trunk/clangd/clients/.
Putting your Emacs code there seems like a good idea.

Looking at the tests might be helpful to get started, they show exactly the
input/expected output of running clangd:
http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/clang-tools-extra/trunk/test/clangd/
The whole functionality we already have is covered there. (One major
missing feature is 'goto declaration/definition'.)

If you need any help in setting up/compiling clangd, or if you have any
questions about the code, let us know.
