<pre>
I use clangd from the vscode-clangd extension and noticed a memory leak when I open specific files. Within just a couple minutes clangd will use up 50gb of memory and I get a full system crash shortly thereafter.
I wasn't able to create a simple reproducible but I did find that it has something to do with precompiled headers. If I disable pchs, the issue went away. Also, it only happens when I target iOS, targeting macOS shows no issues.
If there's anything I should look at that would help in investing, lmk. Thanks for you time.
