clangd works fine for me with the linux kernel. For best results build the kernel with clang by setting LLVM=1 and KERNEL_LLVM=1 in the build environment and run ./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py after building.
Ok, but now every time you switch commits you have to wait for clangd to reindex. Grepping in the kernel is just as fast and you can do it without running a 4GB+ process that takes 10+ minutes to index
Sure. I wasn't intending to claim that there is no reason to care about greppability. Just providing some tips about getting clangd to work with linux for those who might find that useful.
