Nice to see another static analysis tool.

It looks like the compilation database is only used for discovering source files, without any additional cross translation unit analysis [1]. Even if you don't plan on implementing data flow tracking or other passes, it can still be interesting to know on which translation unit a function declaration is defined on.

Also, it seems we always have to recompile each unit when switching between source files. Consider pre-compiling and caching so it's only done once. That should also enable users to search across files/ASTs.
