# Eclipse

You can generate an Eclipse project by running:

```

./mach ide eclipse

```

See also the [Eclipse CDT](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Eclipse/Eclipse_CDT) docs on MDN.

## Visual Studio

You can run a Visual Studio project by running:

```

./mach ide visualstudio

```

(compiledb-back-end-compileflags)=

## CompileDB back-end / compileflags

You can generate a {code}`compile_commands.json` in your object directory by

running:

```

./mach build-backend --backend=CompileDB

```

This file, the compilation database, is understood by a variety of C++ editors / IDEs

to provide auto-completion capabilities. You can also get an individual compile command by

running:

```

./mach compileflags path/to/file

```

This is how the {ref}`VIM <VIM>` integration works, for example.
