LibClang based code completion and linter for Atom Editor
- Semantic code completion using autocomplete-plus
- Diagnostics using linter
- Native C++ v8 Node module using LibClang, no 3rd party dependencies.
- Fast low-latency completions
- Easy to setup with your project, no external configuration needed
- Per project configuration supported with Project Manager
Since this is a package uses C++, it will require the package to be compiled. This is automatically done for you by Atom, but it does have some requirements.
- C++11 compiler, either GCC or Clang
- LibClang 3.8 or greater
LibClang is detected via llvm-config command. Currently, it must be called llvm-config exactly. Not llvm-config-3.8, etc. I am looking into better ways to handle this, but node-gyp is limited in some sense.
Currently, this only works on Linux and Mac. I do not have a Windows computer. I would welcome any patches / pull requests to add Windows support.
This package should be installed through the Atom package manager. For the bleeding edge, you can clone this repository and link it into Atom with apm if desired.
This package can work out-of-the-box, but usually requires some minor configuration. This is because parsing with LibClang, literally runs clang over your source files and usually needs the CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS one would use to compile.
You can set global CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. This will work for any random projects without any major flags.
Per project configuration with Atom is an ongoing open feature request. Thankfully, Project Manager gives us at least 99% of what we want. It does require you to manually edit the project settings file.

Please report all issues in the issue tracker.
The more information you can include, the better. CFlags/CXXFlags especially. Having a reproducible test case would also greatly increase the debug time, though I realize that is not always possible.
I would love the roadmap to be largely driven by users, but her is a list I came up to get started.
- Add support for compile_commands.json
- Add support for precompiled headers
- Add support for FixIt
- Add support for ctrl-click code navigation
