Here is a configuration file for the YouCompleteMe vim plugin that allows code completion for Qt5 projects. The file was shameless ripped off the News Blur Reader project.
The configuration is tested with YouCompleteMe's rev. 56e69412.
In order to locate Qt moc files this config assumes that your build directory
is build
. Also the sources are supposed to be located in the root and Tests
directories. Change that as needed.
Save the file as .ycm_extra_conf.py
in the root directory of your Qt
project.
import os
import ycm_core
from clang_helpers import PrepareClangFlags
# Set this to the absolute path to the folder (NOT the file!) containing the
# compile_commands.json file to use that instead of 'flags'. See here for
# more details: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html
# Most projects will NOT need to set this to anything; you can just change the
# 'flags' list of compilation flags. Notice that YCM itself uses that approach.
compilation_database_folder = ''
# These are the compilation flags that will be used in case there's no
# compilation database set.
flags = [
# THIS IS IMPORTANT! Without a "-std=<something>" flag, clang won't know which
# language to use when compiling headers. So it will guess. Badly. So C++
# headers will be compiled as C headers. You don't want that so ALWAYS specify
# a "-std=<something>".
# For a C project, you would set this to something like 'c99' instead of
# 'c++11'.
'-std=c++11',
# ...and the same thing goes for the magic -x option which specifies the
# language that the files to be compiled are written in. This is mostly
# relevant for c++ headers.
# For a C project, you would set this to 'c' instead of 'c++'.
