#Other libraries seem to have issues with some header names

One example I've run into is trying to name my file "font.hpp", all of sudden 'imgui.h' can't be found, if I rename it to something else, all the problems go away?

What's happening and how can I resolve this?

changing the file name to font_.hpp:

#

i can't really narrow down any context to this other than the file name

#

i've had this a few times with trying to name a header vertex.hpp and having issues with the glm library

#

it makes me think it's some kind of file naming conflict, but i don't understand how it can happen

where is imgui.h located?

and where is your font_.hpp file located?

C:\Users\ic2000\Documents\Projects\Development\archa\inc\font.hpp

And did you properly set the include directories for your vs code folder settings?

i don't set that up manually, i'm using cmaketools

#

the issue is though

#

oh yeah that does compile fine

#

wonder why clangd is struggling, it's usually quite accurate

stable elk
#

who knows

#

ah

#

maybe it's my compile_commands.json, but even then removing it leaves the message

so it looks like clangd is finding my compile_commands.json bc after deleting it, all the intellisense breaks in terms of finding libraries

#

i'm wondering if this might be related

#

e.g. there's an sfml font.cpp in the compile_commands.json, maybe it's assuming my header is for that

#

ok that seems to have fixed it,

add_custom_target(
  generate_compile_commands ALL
  COMMAND
    compdb -p "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" list > "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/compile_commands.json")

just added this to my cmakelists
