Keyword completion in C++ mode

Keyword completion in C++ mode

[TheLonelyStar]

Hi,

Is there some package that provides keyword completion in C++ mode?
In, exmple, if I type:

unsign<tab>

it should complete to

unsigned

Thanks!
Nathan

For *keywords* have a look at abbrev mode (not exactly completions but
close enough).  For more than keywords there's etags (read the chapter
about tags in the emacs manual).

It is unclear what you are after. There are several packages that offer
syntax completion i.e.

if <some-key-stroke> => if ()
                                     else

etc

packages like skeleton.el or else-mode.el have differing facilities for the
user - it's up to you which you prefer. IMO (I'm the author), else-mode.el
offers the most complete and least "interference" of any such package - but
having said that, Stallman decided to include skeleton.el in the Emacs
distribution and not else-mode.el :-) Syntax completion is almost like
editors - you either use it and like it or you can't see what the fuss is
all about.

So have a look around and make up your own mind.
