Intelligent completion

Intelligent completion

[Dave Footitt]

Hi all,

I've been away from this newsgroup for a few years now, so apologies if
this question has been asked many times.  I'm wondering if there has been
any movement on the 'intelligent completion' (particularly for C++) in
Emacs, similar to Slickedit or Codewright.

Last I heard there was the bovinator thing, is that still around?  And
speedbar, is it possible to make it auto-open the tags list in the current
file (I know it currently automatically jumps to the current file).

Many thanks,


Dave

It does not to that automatically, but it could do it via hooks.

You may prefer instead to use ECB which does something similar.

Aha! The very man!  I downloaded the semantic package earlier on today, it
looks fairly powerful.  One thing I've had trouble getting it to do is
read in more files on my (C++) project.  How do I specify which files are
in my project?

Many thanks,


Dave

You first need to enable semanticdb (if you followed the INSTALL
instructions for "useful things", this is already the case.)

Next, add the directory to semanticdb-project-roots.
