A long-running process that provides analysis results to other tools.
The analysis server is designed to provide on-going analysis of one or more code bases as those code bases are changing.
The analysis server is not intended to be used stand-alone, and therefore does not have a human-friendly user interface.
Clients (typically tools, such as an editor) are expected to run the analysis server in a separate process and communicate with it using a JSON protocol. The original protocol is specified in the file analysis_server/doc/api.html
and (less complete) Language Server Protocol support is documented in tool/lsp_spec/README.md
.
