    Description

      I've compared a Qt Creator 7 MinGW build that uses LLVM/Clang 14.0 PGO optimized binaries with both clangd and libclang in a simple scenario:

      1. Load Qt Creator 7 project
      2. open texteditor.cpp
      3. navigate at the end of the file and do Ctrl+Space

      In the two attached screenshots you can see the difference. libclang is visibly faster than clangd.
