To generate a compilation database from the information that the code model
has, select \uicontrol Build > \uicontrol {Generate Compilation Database}.
You can add files, such as non-C files, to the project in
\e {compile_database.json.files}.
You can use the experimental Compilation Database Project Manager to open
the files in a compilation database with access to all the editing features
provided by the Clang code model.
To switch between header and source files, select \uicontrol Tools >
\uicontrol C++ > \uicontrol {Switch Header/Source}.
You can specify custom build steps and run settings for compilation
database projects in the \uicontrol Projects mode. For more information,
see \l{Adding Custom Build Steps} and \l {Specifying Run Settings}.
To enable the plugin, select \uicontrol Help > \uicontrol {About Plugins} >
\uicontrol {Build Systems} > \uicontrol {Compilation Database Project Manager}.
Then restart \QC to load the plugin.
