I try to explore clangd, especially clangd - jump to definition but I am bit stuck. I don’t know how to start it.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

As far as I know for this feature I need to start clangd with a special ‘index.yml’ file, how can I generate it?<br></blockquote><div>Note that the yaml symbol table is experimental only, but if you want to try it out, you can use <a href="https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang-tools-extra/blob/master/clangd/global-symbol-builder/GlobalSymbolBuilderMain.cpp">global-symbol-builder</a> to generate the yaml symbol table. Eventually, we would like to switch to index-while-build (when it's landed) as a source of clangd symbol data. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
When clangd is running can I change this yml file? Can clangd dynamically reload it?<br></blockquote><div>Currently, the static index (e.g. yaml index on a codebase) is only loaded once in the beginning of a clangd instance. The assumption was that clangd instance is restarted more frequently than the updates of static index. clangd also has dynamic index which indexes the open/active files in a clangd session and acts as an overlay on top of the possibly stale static index. But I can see how reloading static index in clangd can be useful, especially when we have index-while-build in the future. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm interested in your use case for reloading static index.

In default how can I send a request to it?<br>
<br>
These are basic questions I know but I didn’t find a detailed documentation for newcomers, so I am really appreciate for any comment. :)<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
