Install LanguageClient-neovim

  • Check out the next branch
  • Systems with prebuilt: ./install.sh
  • Others (e.g. FreeBSD): install rustup, make release (to get bin/languageclient)

You may use the plugin manager vim-plug

LanguageClient-neovim

nvim +PlugInstall +UpdateRemotePlugins +qa

~/.config/nvim/settings.json (optional, by default it creates cache directory .ccls-cache in the project root)

{
  "initializationOptions": {
    "cache": {
      "directory": "/tmp/ccls"
    }
  }
}

~/.config/nvim/init.vim

let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
    \ 'c': ['ccls', '--log-file=/tmp/cc.log'],
    \ 'cpp': ['ccls', '--log-file=/tmp/cc.log'],
    \ 'cuda': ['ccls', '--log-file=/tmp/cc.log'],
    \ 'objc': ['ccls', '--log-file=/tmp/cc.log'],
    \ }

let g:LanguageClient_loadSettings = 1 " Use an absolute configuration path if you want system-wide settings
let g:LanguageClient_settingsPath = '/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.config/nvim/settings.json'
" https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim/issues/379 LSP snippet is not supported
"let g:LanguageClient_hasSnippetSupport = 0

First example:

cd /tmp; mkdir c; cd c
git init  # let LanguageClient-neovim know this is a project
echo '#include <stddef.h>\nint main() {}' > a.cc
nvim a.cc
# :LanguageClientStart

For a larger project, you'll need .ccls or compile_commands.json in your project root.

These features will work out-of-the-box.

$ccls/inheritance derived:false: base classes/overridden methods/specialized from

$ccls/inheritance derived:true

$ccls/call: callers/callees of a function

$ccls/vars: instances of a type

$ccls/member: fields of a struct/class/union/...

There are also hierarchical views of $ccls/call $ccls/inheritance $ccls/member (see the Emacs page) but they have not been implemented by a Vim plugin.

Formatting

fu! C_init()
  setl formatexpr=LanguageClient#textDocument_rangeFormatting()
endf
au FileType c,cpp,cuda,objc :call C_init()

In visual mode, = will invoke textDocument/rangeFormatting, which is a replacement of the clang-format command (both of them use the clangFormat library).
