Description

Clang plugin for Sublime Text 2 providing auto complete suggestions for C/C++/ObjC/ObjC++. It'll also optionally parse the code as it's typed and show errors and warnings.

Known issues and feature requests

Please go here to see the currently known issues and feature request, or to file a new.

Prerequisites

1. To use the clang static analyzer you need to have clang installed and in your path. The other functionality should work without having the clang binaries installed.

Additional Prerequisites (Linux Only)

1. ctypes can't be imported in the Linux version of Sublime Text 2 right now. This can however be worked around easily with the help of pythonbrew:
   1. curl -kL http://xrl.us/pythonbrewinstall | bash
   2. source "$HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc"
   3. pythonbrew install --configure="--enable-unicode=ucs4" 2.6
   4. ln -s $HOME/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.6/lib/python2.6/ <your Sublime Text 2 folder>/lib/python2.6
2. If you install SublimeClang via Package Control, it seems libcache and libclang will be deleted when the package is updated, so it's recommended that you manually install the plugin by using the git commands listed in the Installation section.
3. Once SublimeClang has been installed, libcache will have to be compiled:
   1. cd src
   2. mkdir build
   3. cd build
   4. cmake ..
   5. make

• Note that if a usable libclang library isn't found, it will be downloaded and built as part of the build process.

If you run into any issues, please have a look at issue #35 for additional notes or to ask for help.

Installation

1. The easiest way to install SublimeClang is via the excellent Package Control Plugin
   1. See http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control#Installation
      1. Once package control has been installed, bring up the command palette (cmd+shift+P or ctrl+shift+P)
      2. Type Install and select "Package Control: Install Package"
      3. Select SublimeClang from the list. Package Control will keep it automatically updated for you
   2. If you don't want to use package control, you can manually install it
      1. Go to your packages directory and type:
         1. git clone --recursive https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeClang SublimeClang
      2. To update run the following command:
         1. git pull && git submodule foreach --recursive git pull origin master
2. Back in the editor, open up the command palette by pressing cmd+shift+P or ctrl+shift+P
3. Type SublimeClang and open up the settings file you want to modify with any include directories or other options you want to provide to clang.

Usage

After installation, suggestions from clang should be provided when triggering the autocomplete operation in Sublime Text 2. By default it'll inhibit the Sublime Text 2 built in word completion, but the inhibition can be disabled by setting the configuration option "inhibit_sublime_completions" to false.

If you modify a file that clang can compile and if there are any errors or warnings in that file, you should see the output in the output panel, as well as having the warnings and errors marked in the source file.

There's also the following key-bindings (tweak Default.sublime-keymaps to change):

alt+d,alt+d	Go to the parent reference of whatever is under the current cursor position
alt+d,alt+i	Go to the implementation
alt+d,alt+b	Go back to where you were before hitting alt+d,alt+d or alt+d,alt+i
alt+d,alt+c	Clear the cache. Will force all files to be reparsed when needed
alt+d,alt+w	Manually warm up the cache
alt+d,alt+r	Manually reparse the current file
alt+d,alt+t	Toggle whether Clang completion is enabled or not. Useful if the complete operation is slow and you only want to use it selectively
alt+d,alt+p	Toggle the Clang output panel
alt+d,alt+e	Go to next error or warning in the file
alt+shift+d,alt+shift+e	Go to the previous error or warning in the file
alt+d,alt+s	Run the Clang static analyzer on the current file
alt+d,alt+o	Run the Clang static analyzer on the current project
alt+d,alt+f	Toggle whether fast (but possibly inaccurate) completions are used or not
