** Known issues with bear on macOS
MacOS' [[https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899][System Integrity Protection (SIP)]] might interfere with bear if ~make~ is
under ~/usr/bin/~ which results in an empty compilation database.
From the bear [[https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear#empty-compilation-database-on-os-x-captain-or-fedora][readme]]:
#+begin_quote
Security extension/modes on different operating systems might disable library
preloads. This case Bear behaves normally, but the result compilation database
will be empty. (Please make sure it's not the case when reporting bugs.) Notable
examples for enabled security modes are: OS X 10.11 (check with csrutil status |
grep 'System Integrity Protection'), and Fedora, CentOS, RHEL (check with
sestatus | grep 'SELinux status').
Workaround could be to disable the security feature while running Bear. (This
might involve reboot of your computer, so might be heavy workaround.) Another
option if the build tool is not installed under certain directories. Or use
tools which are using compiler wrappers. (It injects a fake compiler which does
record the compiler invocation and calls the real compiler too.) An example for
such tool might be scan-build. The build system shall respect CC and CXX
environment variables.
#+end_quote
A workaround might be to install ~make~ via Homebrew which puts ~gmake~
under ~/usr/local/~.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
brew install make
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
make clean
bear gmake
