Sam McCall 9c0391b36a [JSONCompilationDatabase] Strip distcc/ccache/gomacc wrappers from parsed commands.
Summary:
It's common to use compiler wrappers by setting CC="gomacc clang++".
This results in both args appearing in compile_commands.json, and clang's driver
can't handle this.

This patch attempts to recognize this pattern (by looking for well-known
wrappers) and dropping argv0 in this case.

It conservatively ignores other cases for now:
 - wrappers with unknown names
 - wrappers that accept -flags
 - wrappers where the compiler to use is implied (usually cc or gcc)

This is done at the JSONCompilationDatabase level rather than somewhere more
fundamental, as (hopefully) this isn't a general conceptual problem, but a messy
aspect of the nature of the ecosystem around compile_commands.json.
i.e. compilation databases more tightly tied to the build system should not have
this problem.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
