C/C++ Clang Command Adapter

Completion and Diagnostic for C/C++/Objective-C using Clang command.

Important Notes

Clang project officialy starts to implement Language Server named clangd. (https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang-tools-extra/tree/master/clangd)

This extension was renamed to C/C++ Clang Command Adapter to avoid confusion, because this extension is unofficial and only parse output of clang command.

Requirements

  • Install Clang
    • For Max OS X, Clang is installed with Xcode Command Line Tools and PATH is configured automatically.
  • Configure the PATH environment variable so that you can execute clang command.
    • or specify clang.executable configuration (See the next section for detail)
