Clang Code Complete and *.inl

[NilC]

We got two files:

InclineClass.h:

Code: Select all

class InclineClass {
public:
    void Increment();

private:
    int _count;
};

#include "InclineClass.inl"

InclineClass.inl:

Code: Select all

void InclineClass::HelloWorld() {
    _count+++
}

ctags code complete working in *.inl file, clang - not. Clang can't see reference between *.h and *.inl. I want to fix it, where shold I look first?...

Hi,

I am not sure we can fix this...
The problem is that the code completion is working in a TU (translation unit) mode.

This means that "InclineClass.inl" can not be compiled as a standalone file - clang will complain about unidentified scope "InclineClass" - since it actually tries to compile it, but the file can not be compiled without the "parent" file including it

The other code completion (which we refer to as "ctags" but actually is far more complex than just ctags..., as ctags is not context aware) uses the look up table and the scope parser is tolerant enough to understand that we are inside a scope named "InclineClass" from there its easy - just look in the look-up table (*.tags files) and suggest completion.

a possible work-around may be :

Code: Select all

#ifndef INCLINE_H
#define INCLINE_H

class InclineClass {
public:
    void Increment();
private:
    int _count;
};

#include "InclineClass.inl"
#endif

Code: Select all

#ifndef INCLINE_INL
#define INCLINE_INL
#include "InclineClass.h"

void InclineClass::Increment() {
    _count++;
}
#endif
