coc-clangd

This extension connects coc.nvim to the clangd language server.

Quick Start

1. install Node.js. coc.nvim and coc-clangd run on Node.js.
2. install coc.nvim. Instructions using vim-plug (check out coc.nvim Wiki other options):
   • add to .vimrc: vim Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'branch': 'release'}
   • in vim, run :PlugInstall
3. in vim, run :CocInstall coc-clangd
4. coc-clangd will try to find clangd from your $PATH, if not found, you can run :CocCommand clangd.install to install the latest release from GitHub
5. follow Project setup to generate compile_commands.json for your project

Note: If you've configured clangd as a languageServer in coc-settings.json, you should remove it to avoid running clangd twice!

Protocol extensions

clangd supports some extensions that are not in the official Language Server Protocol specification.

coc-clangd adds support for:

• Switching between header and implementation file: :CocCommand clangd.switchSourceHeader
  • You can open in split buffer by :CocCommand clangd.switchSourceHeader vsplit
• File status monitor, shows on NeoVim statusline
• Describe symbol under the cursor: :CocCommand clangd.symbolInfo
• Completions that adjust text near the cursor (e.g. correcting . to ->)

Configurations

:CocConfig opens your global coc-settings.json. :CocLocalConfig opens local configuration for your project ($PROJECTROOT/.vim/coc-settings.json)

Configurations	Description	Default
clangd.enabled	enable coc-clangd	true
clangd.arguments	arguments for clangd server	[]
clangd.checkUpdates	check for clangd language server updates on startup	false

clangd.disableDiagnostics	disable diagnostics from clangd	false
clangd.disableSnippetCompletion	disable completion snippet from clangd	false
clangd.disableProgressNotifications	disable indexing progress notifications from clangd	false

clangd.fallbackFlags	extra clang flags used to parse files when no compilation database is found	[]
clangd.path	path to clangd executable	clangd
