I can confirm that clang just uses headers, no linking involved. No project either. Only the headers you include in your file. So it should not compile a lot unless you have a file that includes the whole project, which is probably not the case.

Yep, but I have unfortunately not managed to make it work for me. Also, I wanted to achieve really low-effort setup. I believe that my plugin, while maybe has less features is easier to setup. The user doesn't need to compile anything and generally can avoid opening a command line completely.

I would say these two plugins serve different purposes. rtags seems to be a machine that requires some setup and knowing what you want, but can do a whole lot of different things, while mine is simpler both in setup and architecture, but is of course less functional.

It is hard for me to compare. Last time I opened Visual Studio was like 5 years ago. This plugin would actually not try to compete with VS, as this thing is a monster and this plugin is a hobby project. :)

Originally I wanted to have some lightweight autocompletion for Linux and have added Windows and OSX support because people were trying to use it.

What you say about using VS to manage all compilation and project dependencies sounds really nice and logical, but unfortunately I have no knowledge whatsoever about how VS does this, so I'm not sure I can do this alone. However, I would love to discuss it should anyone have any nice ideas.

Hello HN, I couldn't find any plugin for Sublime Text that would autocomplete C++ code and would be easy to setup, so I have written one. It is not fully polished, but works for me and a bunch of people, so I thought it was a good idea to expose it here.

The reason I post it here is two-fold.

First, I wrote it to make it useful, so I wanted to test it in real world,

Second, I tried to use libclang for autocompletion, but it works only for Linux currently. OSX and Windows for now resort to parsing the output from `clang -code-complete-at` command envoked in a subprocess. I would really love to make the plugin use libclang everywhere. So I would really like to get some help from people who are more familiar with OSX or Windows than I am and to generally spawn discussions on design desicions taken by me in this plugin.

Hope you guys like it. I am open to discussions and to your suggestions!

Damn, feeling completely dumb. I have installed the tool, and am trying it on one of my projects. After I do some local commits `git-appraise request` returns `There are no commits included in the review request`. Is there any tutorial or more documentation available somewhere? Or do I need to dig into its code to find the issue?
