Question

I have installed clang and clang_complete on a Linux system.
I added the following lines to my .vimrc:

let g:clang_user_options='|| exit 0'
set completeopt-=preview

Auto-completion works for my own code. However, it doesn’t work with STL container. Even when I just type std::, I see a “user defined completion – pattern not found” at the bottom of the screen. What is the problem?

I use Vim 7.3 and clang_complete 1.8

Answer 1

The workaround is to tell clang_complete to use the clang library (instead of binary) for parsing. This is done by adding the following line to .vimrc:

let g:clang_use_library=1
