c9.ide.language.cpp

This plugin provides C / C++ language additions to Cloud9 v3 (http:://c9.io).

These features are currently implemented:

• Code completion
• Linting and Diagnostics
• File Outline (Classes, Functions, Includes)
• Jump to Definition / Declaration

These features are planned:

• auto / typename / decltype Type resolution under cursor
• better icons

Code completion and linting are implemented using clang's libclang-c bindings. The initial parse of each translation unit (.c, .h) can take up to one second, depending on the number and complexity of additional files to parse.

Time for subsequent parses is greatly improved due to the build-in cache.

Requirements

• libclang, libllvm
• clang_tool (npm)
• Linux, FreeBSD, OS X (untested but should work in theory)

Run with Docker (recommended)

There is a docker image available on the hub.

Installation on a local c9v3 instance

• Install the cloud9-sdk as per the instructions in the official repository
• Install libclang and libllvm for your platform
• cd <c9-sdk-folder>
• npm install clang_tool
  • If the above fails, make sure libllvm and libclang are installed
  • Clone the clang_tool repository: git clone <r> node_modules/clang_tool
  • Check if the correct include path is set in bindings.gyp
  • Run node-gyp configure && node-gyp build
• Add the plugin to <c9-sdk-foler>/configs/client-default.js (e.g. in line 289)

The following packages are necessary for debian jessie: llvm-3.5, clang-3.5, libclang-3.5-dev

There seem to be a couple of version conflicts with the native clang module that I haven't quite figured out. The docker image uses nodejs v0.12 to build clang_tool and run c9 which seems to be working for now.

Installation on c9.io

Running the plugin on c9.io is broken at the moment.

Run the following in ~ (via the c9 terminal):

# Install native dependencies
sudo apt-get install llvm-3.5 llvm-3.5-dev llvm-3.5-runtime libclang-3.5-dev libclang1-3.5 clang-format-3.5

# Install clang_tool
npm install clang_tool

# Install the plugin
mkdir ~/.c9/plugins && git clone https://github.com/invokr/c9.ide.language.cpp ~/.c9/plugins/c9.ide.language.cpp

# Start cloud9 in debug mode to activate the plugin
https://ide.c9.io/[username]/[project]?sdk=1&debug=2
