  <title>How the code assistance plugin works</title>
  
  <p>The plugin currently relies on information in the makefile to deduce the
  Clang error-highlighting rules. It examines the
  <code its:translate="no">make</code> rules and determines which targets
  depend on the the file that is being parsed. The plugin then extracts the
  compiler flags by simulating an execution of those targets.</p>

  <p>This is not completely fool proof, of course. In the future, the plugin
  will allow you to manually specify the compile flags.</p>
