The problem is that GCC simply does not provide the needed features; most prominently, showing completion candidates for C++ code. There is a project by Tomohiro Matsuyama, called gccsense (see [1]), which uses a modified GCC to provide this feature. However, requiring users to compile a modified GCC is a big barrier. According to Tomohiro Matsuyama, implementing this feature as a GCC plugin also is not feasible, which is why he asked for help on the GCC mailing list in 4/2010 (see [2]), but the feedback he got was not very encouraging. -David [1] http://cx4a.org/software/gccsense/ [2] http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-04/msg00433.html
