Missing autocomplete popup for c/c++ mode with clang_complete

[jkvargas]

Description

#5122

seems that this case is happening with me, i do have clang 3.8 installed and i dont have autocomplete for some headers given by my .clang_complete file.

Reproduction guide

• Start Emacs
  .clang_complete contains -I/usr/local/VulkanSDK/1.0.21.1/x86_64/include

start a cpp file, include vulkan/vulkan.h, no popup when you write the function name.

Observed behaviour:
hitting SPC h d v, looking into company-clang-arguments there is only:

company-clang-arguments is a variable defined in `company-clang.el'.
Its value is ("-std=c++11")
Original value was nil

no popup when you start to write the name of a method/function...

Expected behaviour:
a popup for autocomplete.

Backtrace

BACKTRACE IF RELEVANT

Does it work if you manually add in the missing flag after opening the file? IOW is the problem just with reading the .clang_complete file?

[jkvargas]

yes, if I add the value manually it works.

[TheBB]

Okay, can you pastebin the .clang_complete file somewhere so I can try it?

[jkvargas]

dotclangcomplete.txt just rename the file as .clang_complete

[TheBB]

That file works fine for me on both master and develop.
