Vim自动补全神器–YouCompleteMe-wlbdd-ChinaUnix博客

第一次听说这个插件还是在偶然的情况下看到别人的博客,听说了这个插件的大名.本来打算在实训期间来完成安装的,无奈网实在不给力,也就拖到了回家的时候.在开始准备工作的时候就了解到这个插件不是很容易安装,安装的时候果然名不虚传.(关于这方面的内容,请查看另一篇文章)不过,有付出总有回报,安装之后用上这个插件,真心为这个插件的强大所折服.

那这个插件有何不同?

YouCompleteMe的特别之处

基于语义补全

总所周知,Vim是一款文本编辑器.也就是说,其最基础的工作就是编辑文本,而不管该文本的内容是什么.在Vim被程序员所使用后,其慢慢的被肩负了与IDE一样的工作,文本自动补全(ie.acp,omnicppcompleter),代码检查(Syntastic)等等工作.

针对文本自动补全这个功能来说,主要有两种实现方式.

基于文本

我们常用的omnicppcompleter,acp,vim自带的c-x, c-n的实现方式就是基于文本.更通俗的说法,其实就是一个字:

猜

其通过文本进行一些正则表达式的匹配,再根据生成的tags(利用ctags生成)来实现自动补全的效果.

基于语义

顾名思义,其是通过分析源文件,经过语法分析以后进行补全.由于对源文件进行分析,基于语义的补全可以做到很精确.但是这显然是vim所不可能支持的.而且经过这么多年发展,由于语法分析有很高的难度,也一直没有合适的工具出现.直到,由apple支持的clang/llvm横空出世.YouCompleteMe也正是在clang/llvm的基础上进行构建的.

整合实现了多种插件

clang_complete
AutoComplPop
Supertab
neocomplcache
(类似功能,仅仅针对c/c++/obj-c代码)

支持语言

c
c++
obj-c
c#
python

对于其他的语言,会调用vim设置的omnifunc来匹配,因此同样支持php,ruby等语言.

已知的有 * javascript —- * ruby/java —-

使用感受

和IDE一样,自动补全,
根据include的文件进行补全
不用再蹩脚的生成tags
补全非常精准,而且速度很快,不会有延迟(以前在大项目上,acp用起来实在是很卡)
支持类似tags的跳转,跳到定义处以及使用处
出错提示很智能,并且用起来真的是如丝般柔滑,不用输入:w进行强制检测

安装

说完了那么多好处,就要说到安装了.不同于以往其他vim插件,YCM是一款编译型的插件.在下载完后,需要手动编译后才能使用.对应其他的插件来说,仅仅就是把.vim的文件丢到相应文件夹下就可以.而这也加大了使用YCM的难度.

安装准备

最新版的Vim(7.3.584+),编译时添加+python标志(已经安装的可以通过vim --version查看)
cmake(mac可以通过安装,brew install cmake,ubuntu可以通过sudo apt-get install cmake)
安装插件,用于安装管理vim的插件

mac下快速安装

在.vimrc中添加下列代码

Bundle 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'

保存退出后打开vim,在正常模式下输入

:BundleInstall

等待vundle将YouCompleteMe安装完成

而后进行编译安装:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
./install --clang-completer

如果不需要c-family的补全,可以去掉--clang-completer.如果需要c#的补全,请加上--omnisharp-completer.

正常来说,YCM会去下载clang的包,如果已经有,也可以用系统--system-libclang.

就这样,安装结束.打开vim,如果没有提示YCM未编译,则说明安装已经成功了.

手动编译安装

安装的脚本并不是什么时候都好用,至少对我来说是这样的.安装完之后出现了问题,参考.

在用:BundleInstall安装完成或者使用

git clone --recursive

获取最新的仓库,而后使用git submodule update --init --recursive确认仓库的完整性后,开始安装流程.

下载最新的clang二进制文件 YCM要求clang版本 > 3.2,一般来说都是.
安装python-dev.(ubuntu下使用sudo apt-get install python-dev,mac下默认提供,否则请安装)

编译

cd ~ mkdir ycm_build 
cd ycm_build 
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DPATH_TO_LLVM_ROOT=~/ycm_temp/llvm_root_dir . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/cpp make ycm_support_libs

这里需要注意的是,~/ycm_temp/llvm_root_dir中包含的是根据第一步下载的压缩包解压出来的内容(包括include, bin等等文件)

这样就完成了,开始感受YCM提供的完全不逊色于大型IDE所提供的自动补全功能吧.

配置

不同于很多vim插件,YCM首先需要编译,另外还需要有配置.在vim启动后,YCM会找寻当前路径以及上层路径的.ycm_extra_conf.py.在~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/cpp/ycm/.ycm_extra_conf.py中提供了默认的模板.也可以参考我的(就在模板上改改而已).不过这个解决了标准库提示找不到的问题.

一般来说,我会在~目录下放一个默认的模板,而后再根据不同的项目在当前目录下再拷贝个.ycm_extra_conf.py.

YouCompleteMe提供的其他功能

YCM除了提供了基本的补全功能,自动提示错误的功能外,还提供了类似tags的功能:

跳转到定义GoToDefinition
跳转到声明GoToDeclaration
以及两者的合体GoToDefinitionElseDeclaration

可以在.vimrc中配置相应的快捷键.

nnoremap <leader>gl :YcmCompleter GoToDeclaration<CR> nnoremap <leader>gf :YcmCompleter GoToDefinition<CR> nnoremap <leader>gg :YcmCompleter GoToDefinitionElseDeclaration<CR>

另外,YCM也提供了丰富的配置选项,同样在.vimrc中配置.具体请

let g:ycm_error_symbol = '>>' let g:ycm_warning_symbol = '>*'

同时,YCM可以打开location-list来显示警告和错误的信息:YcmDiags.个人关于ycm的配置如下:

" for ycm
let g:ycm_error_symbol = '>>'
let g:ycm_warning_symbol = '>*'
nnoremap <leader>gl :YcmCompleter GoToDeclaration<CR> nnoremap <leader>gf :YcmCompleter GoToDefinition<CR> nnoremap <leader>gg :YcmCompleter GoToDefinitionElseDeclaration<CR> nmap <F4> :YcmDiags<CR>

YCM提供的跳跃功能采用了vim的jumplist,往前跳和往后跳的快捷键为Ctrl+O以及Ctrl+I.

总结

YouCompleteMe是我用过的最爽的一个自动补全的插件了.之前使用acp时,遇到大文件基本上就卡死了,以至于都不怎么敢使用.由于YCM使用的时C/S结构,部分使用vim脚本编写,部分认为原生代码,使得跑起来速度飞快.

抛弃Vim自带的坑爹的补全吧,抛弃ctags吧,抛弃cscope吧,YCM才是终极的补全神器.

在安装过程中,我也遇到了不少的坑.一会会发一篇解决这些坑的文章.

最后祝大家码年顺利,一码平川,码到功成.
