Other Editors

Eclipse

You can generate an Eclipse project by running:

./mach ide eclipse

Visual Studio

You can run a Visual Studio project by running:

./mach ide visualstudio

Zed

You can generate a Zed configuration by running:

./mach ide zed

This will generate a .zed/settings.json file in the Firefox project root and won’t change global Zed settings.

CompileDB back-end / compileflags

You can generate a compile_commands.json in your object directory by running:

./mach build-backend --backend=CompileDB

This file, the compilation database, is understood by a variety of C++ editors / IDEs to provide auto-completion capabilities. You can also get an individual compile command by running:

./mach compileflags path/to/file

This is how the Vim / Neovim integration works, for example.
