compile_commands.json is used by clangd[1] to provide code navigation and completion functionality to editors. See [2] for an example configuration that includes this functionality for VSCode. It can currently be built manually when using kunit.py, by running: ./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py -d .kunit With this change however, it's built automatically so you don't need to manually keep it up to date. Unlike the manual approach, having make build the compile_commands.json means that it appears in the build output tree instead of at the root of the source tree, so you'll need to add --compile-commands-dir=.kunit to your clangd args for it to be found. This might turn out to be pretty annoying, I'm not sure yet. If so maybe we can later add some hackery to kunit.py to work around it.
