Hey,
I'm new to the Linux kernel development, and I wanted to set up a VSCode environment for navigating the code (I know, even though people tell me Vim is better but currently I'm really not comfortable with it yet). My main goal is just navigating and understanding. I've been able to make a lot work, and using the C/C++ extension from Microsoft I have good IntelliSense.
However, some things are getting flagged by the extension as errors (which of course shouldn't, since I've been able to compile the kernel). These are things like: identifiers being undefined (for example, in kernel/sched/cpudeadline.c u64 is undefined) and errors like: function returning array is not allowed (for example, in drivers/md/dm-zero.c on the bottom). vscode use clang and needs clangd. you can generate from ./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py which makes you navigate source code! I'm wondering if I'm forgetting things such that all these things get resolved. Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks!
