Again, I'm missing again some context. kdev-clang will stick to clang-c, the 
libTooling support must be handled somehow separately, e.g. in a separate 
process/plugin/library, due to the ABI instability of libTooling.

Then, speaking about compile_commands.json: You can concentrate on supporting 
CMake projects for now, where we read this file ourselves already. Using bear 
or similar in the future can be done, but first we should see what we can do 
with libTooling and how we can integrate it.
