Add cmd to compilation database file format

[diltsman]

Summary

In the compilation database command must be escaped. This can cause problems on some systems (Windows). cmd is added as a list of command line arguments that will not be escaped.

[klimek]

Small aside: phab helps mainly when context is added to the diff (see http://llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html)
git: git diff -U999999 other-branch
svn: svn diff --diff-cmd=diff -x -U999999
(or you can use the arc diff command line tool)

Apart from that, my comment on the initial thread still stands:
I think we should name the list one "arguments" or (if you prefer) "args"; I think that makes a lot more sense: command: the shell command that is run, arguments: the command line arguments.

[diltsman]

I did the rename to args, but apparently I uploaded the old patch file. New patch file coming shortly.

[klimek]

Sorry I missed the update - I still see "cmd" in the latest patch (note
that phab is currently down due to somebody trying to DDOS or hack it).

[diltsman]

I'm trying to upload a new patch and I get an error from Phabricator:
'Unhandled Exception ("Exception")'.

Any ideas how to get this to work? I have attached the diff file.

Ok, we're very close now :) Thanks for taking the time to work through this!

Any reason we don't want to allow both, but prefer the arguments?

302–304

Can we use for-range loops with auto?

I don't see how the arguments are preferred.

I was thinking that the user would either want to use the command line or list arguments. Is there a case where someone would want to do both?

Also, if we permit both, do we need to do any kind of uniquing?

302–304

I changed two other locations to range-based for loops, too.

You're probably right. I guess people are not distributing clang tools (yet!), so we probably don't need tools like cmake to output both at the same time.

What I meant with "preferred" is that we could allow specifying both, and then we would use 'arguments', if specified, and otherwise fall back to 'command'. Does that make sense?

302–304

Thanks!

[diltsman]

Arguments and Command can now be in the same compilation database for the same file. Arguments are preferred when both are present.

[klimek]

LG with a happy path test.

Please add a happy path test, too.

[diltsman]

Where/how does documentation (http://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html) get updated?

[diltsman]

Added test for command and arguments in same object.
Fixed bug where parse failed if command and argument resolved to empty lists.

[klimek]

Cool, looks good! If you need me to land it let me know.

[diltsman]

Yes, please land it.

[klimek]

Unfortunately I can't get the patch to apply cleanly due to different line endings.

[klimek]

Solved the line ending problem.
