Re: configuring irony

[Sanjeev Sariya <sanjeevsariya@gmail.com>]

Hi Alexis,

Thanks for your attention and reply to my post. 
Sorry for a superficial, and a broad post. I shall keep in my mind suggestions provided by you. :)

My config file for emacs look like:

(require 'package)
(package-initialize)

(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                         ("marmalade" . "https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
                         ("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")))

Sorry, I don't know configuring emacs archives. :( 
All packages I've been installing are as:
- M-x package-list-packages
- search for your package, hit enter, press I and press x 

Then I make changes in init.el file, for add, and load. 

For the irony, or c mode: I open c or c++ file, upon typing keywords - struct or int, and hitting tab, I won't get prompt to complete these.

Kindly guide me in order to proceed.

Thanks,
Sanjeev
