Code completion plugin for c programming in Vim

Question

I'm looking for a good code completion plugin for C programming in Vim. I already found some myself:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1764 Even though this does have some very nice features, it only has a short gif file as documentation which makes it fairly useless to me. A shame really, I think it does almost what I want.

Ideally I want a plugin that knows the full C standard library, and has the features of the above plugin.

Any ideas?

Solution 1

I would always suggest using clang complete like I did here. The other answers there might be useful for you as well.

Solution 2

Here is a long Article on the configuration, see if it helps you:

Solution 3

I would strongly suggest the youcompleteme vim plugin.

I can't remember the details (it's been a while since I last used C, and I don't have a suitable environment at hand to confirm it), but I think I did this with a combination the out-of-the-box omni-completion and ctags. Opening vim and typing :help ft-c-omni should get you started.

Oh, and add some key remapping as well. I know of no one that likes the default <C-X><C-O>.
