Requirements

Installation

Vundle

Plugin 'lyuts/vim-rtags'

then while in vim run:

:source %
:PluginInstall

NeoBundle

then while in vim run:

:source %
:NeoBundleInstall

Pathogen

$ cd ~/.vim/bundle
$ git clone https://github.com/lyuts/vim-rtags

Configuration

This plugin interacts with RTags by invoking rc commands and interpreting their results. You can override the path to rc binary by setting g:rtagsRcCmd variable. By default, it is set to rc, expecting it to be found in the $PATH.

Out of box this plugin provides mappings. In order to use custom mappings the default mappings can be disabled:

let g:rtagsUseDefaultMappings = 0

By default, search results are showed in a location list. Location lists are local to the current window. To use the vim QuickFix window, which is shared between all windows, set:

let g:rtagsUseLocationList = 0

To implement 'return to previous location after jump' feature, internal stack is used. It is possible to set its maximum size (number of entries), default is 100:

let g:rtagsJumpStackMaxSize = 100

Usage

Mappings

Unite sources

This plugin defines three Unite sources:

• rtags/references - list references (i.e., <Leader>rf).
• rtags/symbol - find symbol (i.e., <Leader>rs). Use rtags/symbol:i for case insensitive search.
• rtags/project - list/switch projects.

Code completion

Code completion functionality uses completefunc (i.e. CTRL-X CTRL-U). If completefunc is set, vim-rtags will not override it with RtagsCompleteFunc. This functionality is still unstable, but if you want to try it you will have to set completefunc by

set completefunc=RtagsCompleteFunc

Also RtagsCompleteFunc can be used as omnifunc. For example, you can use such approach with neocomplete(for more details read it's docs):

function! SetupNeocompleteForCppWithRtags()
    " Enable heavy omni completion.
    setlocal omnifunc=RtagsCompleteFunc

    if !exists('g:neocomplete#sources#omni#input_patterns')
        let g:neocomplete#sources#omni#input_patterns = {}
    endif
    let l:cpp_patterns='[^.[:digit:] *\t]\%(\.\|->\)\|\h\w*::'
    let g:neocomplete#sources#omni#input_patterns.cpp = l:cpp_patterns 
    set completeopt+=longest,menuone
endfunction

autocmd FileType cpp,c call SetupNeocompleteForCppWithRtags()

Such config provides automatic calls, of omnicompletion on c and cpp entity accessors.

Current limitations

• There is no support for overridden functions and methods
• There is no support for function argument completion

Notes

1. This plugin is wip.
