The README presents ClangQL as a way to query C/C++ code instead of database files, with examples over functions and globals. The project has had a rapid 0.x release series on crates.io and GitHub tags. Homebrew currently packages a tagged GitHub archive as clangql 0.23.0, while crates.io metadata lists 0.11.0 as the max crate version. ### Adoption history The README documents both cargo install clangql and brew install clangql. crates.io reported 10,891 total downloads, and Homebrew reported 470 installs over the prior 365 days for the formula. ### How it is used Users pass source files, a script, or an inline query and can request rendered, JSON, or CSV output. The examples show SQL-like SELECT, COUNT, DISTINCT, LIKE, and matcher predicates over functions and globals. ### Why package nerds care ClangQL is interesting as a packaging artifact because it combines Rust distribution, libclang availability, and Homebrew bottles for a developer tool whose runtime behavior depends on the local LLVM/Clang stack. ### Timeline - 2024: GitHub repository and crates.io crate created. - 2024: Early 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 GitHub releases published. - 2025: 0.8.0 through 0.11.0 releases published on GitHub/crates.io. - 2026: Homebrew formula metadata lists 0.23.0 as stable from a GitHub tag. ### Related projects - GitQL is the query-language SDK named in the README as ClangQL's foundation. - LLVM/Clang and libclang are required runtime/build dependencies for parsing C and C++ code. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** clangql - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [llvm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/llvm/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [clazy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clazy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: clang, cli, cpp, developer-tools, static-analysis. - [include-what-you-use](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/include-what-you-use/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: clang, cli, cpp, developer-tools, static-analysis. - [clang-include-graph](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clang-include-graph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: clang, cli, cpp, developer-tools. - [boost-bcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/boost-bcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools. - [cabin](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cabin/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools. - [conan](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/conan/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools. - [etl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/etl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools. - [metashell](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/metashell/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpp, developer-tools. - [clang-uml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clang-uml/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
