* Description
|
|
|
|
This layer adds [[https://github.com/abingham/emacs-ycmd][emacs-ycmd]] support, including its integrations with company,
|
|
flycheck, and eldoc.
|
|
|
|
* Install
|
|
** Layer
|
|
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
|
|
add =ycmd= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
** YCMD
|
|
1) Install the =ycm= server. Installation instructions can be found [[https://github.com/Valloric/ycmd#building][here]].
|
|
2) Set the =ycmd-server-command= variable to reflect the path to the installation:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq ycmd-server-command '("python" "/path/to/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/ycmd"))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
Note that no filename expansions are done, so =~=-paths will not work out of the box.
|
|
If you need expansions, you can use Emacs's =file-truename= like this:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq ycmd-server-command (list "python" (file-truename "~/some/path")))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
3) By default, spacemacs configures ycmd for getting the compilation flags from either
|
|
a compile_commands.json or a .clang_complete file and get additionnal flags from a
|
|
.ycm_extra_flags file. If you do not like this behaviour, you can write your own
|
|
[[https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/blob/master/README.md#c-family-semantic-completion][.ycm_extra_conf.py file]]. See [[#configuration][Configuration]] for more details.
|
|
4) Whitelist the file by adding the following to =.spacemacs=:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
;; In this example we whitelist everything in the Develop folder
|
|
(setq ycmd-extra-conf-whitelist '("~/Develop/*"))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
5) The completion is not going to work automatically until we actually force it:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq ycmd-force-semantic-completion t)
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Other Requirements
|
|
This package requires the =auto-completion= layer in order to get actual
|
|
completion. The =syntax-checking= layer is required for flycheck support.
|
|
|
|
* Configuration
|
|
|
|
** Activating ycmd in a major mode
|
|
By default this layer only activates ycmd for =c++-mode= and =c-mode=.
|
|
|
|
If you want ycmd support in other modes you might just want to add it for
|
|
specific languages like:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'ycmd-mode)
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Getting the compilation flags
|
|
|
|
Spacemacs uses its own ycmd global configuration file. If you prefer, you can
|
|
write your own [[https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/blob/master/README.md#c-family-semantic-completion][.ycm_extra_conf.py]].
|
|
|
|
Spacemacs will search for a compile_command.json or fall back to a
|
|
.clang_complete file in all parent directories of the current translation unit.
|
|
Spacemacs will try to make up for missing files in the compile_commands.json
|
|
using heuristics described in global_conf.py.
|
|
|
|
The user can provide additionnal flags by writing a .ycm_extra_flags in any
|
|
parent directory of the current translation unit. This is particularly useful
|
|
when cross-compiling.
|
|
|
|
Example .ycm_extra_flags:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
|
|
# Additionnal flags for ycmd
|
|
--sysroot="/path/to/your/toolchain/libc" # if you are cross-compiling
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
If your build system doesn't handle the creation of a compile_commands.json,
|
|
you can use tools such as [[https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear][Bear]] or [[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scan-build][scan-build]] to generate it, which both work
|
|
with almost any build system.
|
|
|
|
* Key Bindings
|
|
|
|
Adds ~SPC m g g~ go to definition binding to =c++-mode= as well as ~SPC m g G~
|
|
for the more imprecise but faster version.
