c++, omnicppcomplete doesn't show methods for string

Question

The problem about ctags and omnicppcomplete in vim. Omni does not show methods of class "string" . (I had the same problem with STL library. I solved it by downloading STL and run ctags in this folder then set path the tags file.)
How to solve this problem, run ctags in /usr/include directory?

Answer 1

To get perfect C/C++/Objective-C code completion, i would recommend you to try Clang Complete .

But if you want to use omnicppcomplete, you need to generate tags for needed class, yes. If you need just "string" class, you can generate tags only for string.h , not for a whole /usr/include , to make it faster.

By the way, you might want to use plugin Indexer to get painless automatic tags generation for a whole project(s).

Answer 2

I use tags for STD C++ that hosted in vim.org , it uses modified libstdc++ headers for use with ctags . And omni works well with it.

This is a slightly modified version of the libstdc++ headers which can be used with ctags. STL, streams and other standard cpp stuff can now be completed with omnicpp complete.
