cmake-ide

[steve-lorimer]

How similar to cmake-ide is the spacemacs c++ layer?

Have you considered pulling it in?

I haven't tried it but,

• rtags: no, but there's a PR for it that is quite popular
• flycheck: yes
• auto-complete-clang: no, we use company
• company-clang: yes
• irony: no

There is no particular support for reading setup from CMake files directly. For big projects I use a wrapper compiler that extracts the arguments it needs and adds them to a .clang_complete file which Spacemacs reads.

It would be interesting to use this package for reading CMake setup files but probably not for the overall integrated experience.

I watched your c++ spacemacs YouTube video, and saw your use of cc_args.

Then I saw Atila's lightening talk which did it automatically, leading to this question.

It's only 15 mins long, much of which can be skipped, worth a quick watch!

If you are using cmake for building, it can generate compiler options by setting CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS on. The output file is compile_commands.json. YCM will read this file for completion by setting the compilation database variable. I guess clang complete also supports the compile_commands.json file, but haven't tried it. I think it looks better than add a wrapper before compiler. It seems that cmake-ide is based on compile_commands.json.

@syl20bnr , this issue could be close because #9432 has been merged

Still open!!? Almost every other issue/PR referencing this issue has been closed @syl20bnr . Isn't this issue resolved?

cmake-ide is now part for the cmake layer which has been extracted from the c-c++ layer to make it lighter. Compro Prasad <notifications@github.com> writes:

@syl20bnr I installed the latest version of Spacemacs from master and if I try to use the layer cmake I get an error saying that it is not available.
How can I set it up? Do I need to "add another source for layers" (like when one has to add MELPA if he wants packages that are not in ELPA)?

[sdwolfz]

@LucaMarconato the cmake layer is only available on the develop branch right now: http://develop.spacemacs.org/layers/+tools/cmake/README.html.

[LucaMarconato]

Ah cool! Is it stable or should I just wait for the final release? :)

[sdwolfz]

Develop should be stable enough for day to day use.

[LucaMarconato]

@sdwolfz I installed but it does not seem to work out-of-the-box, should I also install irony and company-irony?

[sdwolfz]

Did you add the variable as well? (cmake :variables cmake-enable-cmake-ide-support t)

[LucaMarconato]

Yes, still not working. Anyway since I do not want go OT I will open another thread (not immediately, I want to experiment more with the configuration first). Thank you for the answers you have given me so far.
