Can the wrapper support processing of compilation data?

Is it possible to add functionality within the wrapper to modify the obtained JSON data before passing it to Clang for compilation? I'm looking to implement transformations on the JSON output through the wrapper and then have Clang execute the compilation based on the modified data.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. The JSON is not passed to Clang by the wrapper (or by Bear). Could you rephrase your question, and instead of telling what change you want, tell me what you want to achieve?

I need to capture the compilation flags, dynamically modify the compiler flags (adding/removing optimization flags), and then pass them to clang for execution, in order to conduct experiments. Bear can capture the compilation flags but does not modify them.

I see. But this might be easier to do if you alter the build file. Doing this through compiler wrappers makes the compilation less transparent and harder to debug... And if you want to do flag manipulation, you don't need Bear for that. Imposing compiler wrappers is a 2 minute effort... Anyway, I don't want to include this in Bear. Sorry.
