I was searching for a plugin for clang-enabled C++ auto-completion that would be powerful, asynchronous and yet easy to set up and use. I have tried a bunch, but non really suited my needs. I have eventually found a plugin by pl-ca that I could start hacking around. With time it changed substantially and now it is a standalone plugin. You can find it here: EasyClangComplete. It is still pending the review to enter Package Control here.
Features
- should work for Windows, OSX and Linux out of the box. Including STL completion.
- can work either using
libclangalong with its python bindings (currently only working for Linux) or can callclangbinary from command line and parse the auto-completion output. - asynchronous, you will not need to wait for completions.
- should be relatively well written for you to hack around.
Help needed
- I am not a python expert, so if you know more and are willing to share the knowledge - do so.
- I do not own a Mac and I an not fluent with Windows, so people who are familiar with those could help making
libclangcompletions run on both systems. - There is a couple of people who have tested the plugin, but there will be issues when more people start using it, so I do want to catch those and make the experience as nice as possible.
