I'm sorry, but due to an unforeseen sickness I'll be sadly not able to attend today. I will definitely attend the next meeting! I hope it is okey with you to shift this agenda item to the next one.

In the meantime I'll live THIS here at least, this is our CDT connectior, we currently rely on this and not on the compilation database (yet).

Best,
Tobias
