Hi All,

I started working on a plugin that uses features of libclang for C/C++ projects (CDK = C/C++ Development Kit). The code is at:

https://github.com/codebrainz/cdk-plugin

If anyone is interested to help out in this early stage, especially with the user interface and experience. I have some interesting features working already but the way humans interact with the plugin really sucks.

If anyone is a C/GObject/Glade wizard and wants to help develop the human interface to this plugin, please respond here or send me an email

directly.

Thanks, Matthew Brush _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

Great work and very interesting!

Can you give a quick overview of what it adds to geany's c support, whether planned or already integrated? Does it also improve some of geany's existing features?

There's an overview in the README.md file with some current and planned features.

From what I understood, libclang is superior to any other tag parser, so to me the question is also if we could use it in the core? But I guess other language support would suffer.

I think it's too big and language-specific to go into core. IMO a better approach would be to improve the core to facilitate plugins to override/extend Geany's features with language-specific smarts. This would make it easier to write such plugins and would avoid the core havig all kinds of big dependencies like LibPython, LibVala, LibRuby, or what-have-you.

Cheers, Matthew Brush

Is GTK3 really unavoidable dependency?

At a quick look it doesn't use scintilla's autocompletion window - what is the reason?

That would be a great feature. Did you also look at CodeIntel? It could improve support for many languages, not only C/C++.

CodeIntel (both Komodo and sublime versions) does not support c/c++ so it isn't a replacement for this. "Somebody" could make a similar plugin to use codeintel as well.

I could spend effort trying to make stuff compatible with both GTK2 and 3 but since GTK+ 2 is obsolete and even Geany will be depending on GTK+ 3 by default soon, it seems pointless to write code that is deprecated before it's even complete.

Hopefully gtk+3 will be the default only on *nix. The latest binaries for Win~1 are still 3.6.4, and they _slow_, to the point that simply scrolling with the down arrow causes jumps, or buffers the key. They rewrote the drawing stack in 3.10 IIRC...
