GNU Emacs and code completion

GNU Emacs and code completion

[Renato Perini]

Hi all.
I wanted to know if there is some way to use some sort of code completion 
under GNU Emacs.
Thanks in advance.

Renato Perini.

I'm not sure what you mean by ``code completion''.  If you type a part
of the name of a variable, or a struct, or a class, or a function, and
then press M-/ repetitively, Emacs will try to complete that partial
name using all the identifiers in this buffer and all the other
buffers.  Is that what you are looking for?

I mean that the editor "knows" the name of the functions you are typing.
For example, if you have the following function:
              gint gtk_signal_connect(GtkObject * widget, const gchar * 
signal, GtkSignalFunc callback, gpointer user_data);
when you begin typing this function the editor reply to you by showing you 
the possible names that begins with gtk_signal_* suffix and when you have 
completed typing the function, the editor shows you the function arguments 
to pass in.

Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what I mean.
Thank you for your interest.

You could try Semantic for context-sensitive completion for a growing
number of languages:

Pressing M-/ a few times works often, though.
