Where is clangd-indexer?

The clang package supposedly contains clang-tools-extra? Why not clangd-indexer?

Open a bug/feature request on flyspray if a package is missing binaries you'd like to see, there's a good chance that the relevant packagers don't frequent the boards.

Re: Where is clangd-indexer?

The number one reason I guess is because there is no such thing as clangd-indexer. Future versions of clang-tools-extra will rename global-symbol-builder to clangd-indexer.

As for why global-symbol-builder is not installed, I do not know. What I do know is that no tools are explicitly included, the build system is supposed to automatically install all tools.

Actually I've figured out why it is not installed, the clang developers have chosen to use the add_clang_executable macro instead of add_clang_tool, in order to specifically not set up an install rule.

(This is the case under both names.)
