This pull request is about to provide a support of writing out compile_commands.json relatively to workspace root to provide each project means of customizing their .clangd.

By default compile-commands-extractor's refresh_compile_command produces its output into bazel-workspace root. But our monorepository is single-rooted workspace and has many subprojects as children folders. Multiple projects are maintained by one team of developers, but a single project may have its own clangd configuration.

I didn't find any customization attribute of bazel target so created this PR. If there exist any please let me know. TY

@cpsauer it would be great if you find some time to review PR :)

Closes #217

@ilev4ik please don't mention people who don't even have the permissions to merge your PR (i.e. me, probably some others).

FYI I suspect there's a chance this project will no longer be maintained now that Hedron Vision was acquired, though I have no inside information.

@garymm how can I check if you have a permission or not? I relied on autocomplete when mentioning. It seems it was a mistake

My apologises for inconvenience

New macro/rule parameter `output_dir` (default empty == workspace root,
matching the historical behaviour). When set, both the pre-write unlink
and the open() target are rerouted to `<output_dir>/compile_commands.json`.

Backport of hedronvision#210 (ilev4ik).

Hi — since upstream has been quiet for a while, the fork at https://github.com/helly25/bazel-compile-commands-extractor has picked up this change as part of a viability sweep.

Backported (with attribution preserved in the commit message) in helly25#13. Thanks for the original patch.
