Thanks for the reply -- I want to understand these use cases, so the
sooner I learn I'm wrong, the better. :-)

Do you expect to find compilation commands for both release and debug
builds (and release-with-debug, and cross compilations, and any other
kind of build you may have) in the same compile_commands.json?

If so, how do you generate that compile_commands.json? (As far as I can
tell, cmake only supports one build "mode" per build directory.)

If not, presumably your refactoring/renaming tool reads from multiple
compile_commands.json files?

Cheers
Dave.
