| There is a bunch of plugins that do essentially the same, but are all subtly different. the one you reference uses python bindings, but only works for Linux. I will do a brief list of all that I know of:
https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeClang - discontinued This one is pretty close to what I want: https://github.com/lvzixun/Clang-Complete It uses libclang and should work on all systems. It didn't work properly for me under Linux, but feel free to use it if it does. There is also a plugin https://github.com/griebd/clangHelper which shares the purpose with what I have written, but was never updated after the initial commit, which is a pity. I probably wouldn't have written mine if it would be alive. Then there are https://github.com/LuckyGeck/YcmdCompletion, https://github.com/glymehrvrd/CppYCM and https://github.com/ivankoster/SublimeYouCompleteMe that use ycmd server to complete code. Ycmd is well-known to those who are vim users under the name YouCompleteMe. Unfortunately all these plugins are not fully in line with Ycmd server developments, e.g. the HMAC auth often mismatch and sometimes there is even no setting for that. These all are really great! And I do like the server-client architecture of this, but I could not make any of these work reliably for me. Believe me, I have tried. Also, again, it is harder for the user to separately setup a server and then register a client to it with multiple settings. Also there is a need for a .ycm_extra_conf.py file that has non-trivial syntax (as a python file) And then there is https://github.com/pl-ca/ClangAutoComplete which is a really nice plugin and I started off my forking it. It uses only clang binary and is written in a simple, easy to grasp way, so it was perfect to hack around. However, I wanted to have a more modular structure and to make is unit tested and to use libclang when possible, so we have diverged. Correct me if I did any wrong statement please and point me to the ones I may have forgotten. |
