Headers autocompletion suggestion

[Feacur]

probably related to: #705 and #706?

UPD: added some more new completion triggers

System info:

• Sublime Text version: Version 3.2.2, Build 3211
• Which system are you on: Windows 10 Home, 10.0.19042 Build 19042
• Clang version: 10, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, posix

What happens:

More of a suggestion, than an issue.

Using libclang to complete #include "..." feels more natural and correct than the original popup method.

A small tweak is sufficient:

// - disable `autocomplete_includes`
// - add `"`, `<`, and `/` to `triggers`
// UPD: add a `)` for correct completions of `(type)variable_name`
// UPD: add an `&` for correct completions of `&variable_name`
// UPD: add a `*` for correct completions of `*variable_name`
"autocomplete_includes": false,
"triggers" : [ ".", "->", "::", " ", "\t", "(", ")", "[", "&", "*", "\"", "<", "/" ],

... A correct -I flags setup is implied, of course.

Original method:

But first, notice how the popup completion behaves:

... forbids inner relative paths:

... requires fully-qualified ones, relative to the project's root

... also no text appears until a header is selected

... besides, it generates paths with backslashes

Log that illustrates the issue (with the original method):

Suggestion:

this allows typing whatever the user needs:

Verbose log was too verbose, though: suggestion.log

A minimal repro:

A repository of mine as a reference: https://github.com/Feacur/game_prototype/tree/master/__sublime_project

./folder/some_header1.h

#if !defined(SOME_HEADER1)
#define SOME_HEADER1

void func1(void);

#endif

./folder/some_header2.h

#if !defined(SOME_HEADER2)
#define SOME_HEADER2

void func2(void);

#endif

./some_tu.c

#include "folder/some_header1.h"
#include "folder/..." // fix me

#include <stdio.h>

void func1(void) { printf("hello, world1!"); }
void func2(void) { printf("hello, world2!"); }

int main (int argc, char const * argv[]) {
	(void)argc; (void)argv;
	return 0;
}

P.S.:

both methods struggle in the presence of extra symbols:

... or by being super-eager to auto-complete:

... when there's no ambiguity:

... or eats a completion (puts emptiness/ignores) if a name matches the end of a previous folder name:

the log is here, btw: emptiness.log
UPD: LSP + clangd acts just alike.

otoh, you can complete paths right in the middle!

... would be cool [probably] if this kind of completion optionally removed the rest of the line, but ctrl + shift + delete already capable of that anyway.

Holy crap. I was never aware that I could just get the includes from libclang. 🤦‍♂️ The funny thing is that I believe I tried this before and it never worked. I just tested this and it works well. Soooo. This makes my way of completing the includes with the popup obsolete to some degree. 🤔

That being said, let me quickly walk through how each of the methods works:

• my popup method remembers all the folders from the include flags and will suggest those when completing includes in an interactive manner. What I like about it is that it will have only the folders from the include folders provided and guides the user through the folders and files to choose.
• the libclang method would kinda do the same, just using the normal completion dialog. One needs to start typing every single folder or file and do it sequentially, first the folders, then eventually the file.

So, from the looks of it, I would still prefer the new method, so I will probably leave it as default. But I will extend the completion triggers so that they can be used out of the box and change the name of the setting probably.

How does it sound?

[Feacur]

Sounds great to extend the defaults and rephrase the setting! Though, surely, that's completely up to you whether to make the libclang method default instead or not. I merely wanted to bring the possibility up.
