Subject: [PATCH] .gitignore: ignore temporary files from 'bear'
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 08:59:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250827-master-v1-1-19f9f367219c@google.com> (raw)

Bear [0] is a tool for generating compile_commands.json. For Kbuild,
Bear is not useful, since Kbuild already generates the necessary info
and that can be converted to compile_commands.json by
gen_compile_commads.py.

However, for code in tools/, it's handy. For example, this command
updates compile_commands.json so that clangd code navigation will also
work for the VMA unit tests:

	bear --append -- make -C tools/testing/vma -j

Bear generates some temporary files. These are usually deleted again
but having them show up ephemerally confuses tools that trigger
recompilation on source code changes. Ignore them in Git so that these
tools can tell they aren't source code.
