clangd code completion

[juxin5]

hello, first time here.
I followed the wiki page to enable the Clangd plugin, but the code completion is not working.
Is there something I am missing?
I'm using build 13539 on windows.

These directions? https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/CB_Clangd_Client

Which compiler toolchain did you install/use?
Which clangd did you install/use?

thx for the reply.
yes, I use the LLVM win64.exe one.
I'm not sure what compiler toolchain you mentioned means, but if it's compiler used in cb, it's gnu gcc compiler.

Without knowing the compiler toolchain you are using I cannot help you.
And, I feel too bad today to explain where to find the info.

I'll try to help here. But first, let me come up with some questions that will put us on the same page to determine what you mean by "is not working". We need some clues.
I'll reply tomorrow.

Thanks for your patients.

thx for the reply.

When I type 3 letters, the classic code completion will list the possible candidates. By "not working", I mean that the list will not show.

Run these commands:

Code Select Expand

clangd --version

Code Select Expand

gcc --version
to get the versions.

thx for the reply.
the clangd version is 18.1.8
as for the gcc version, I don't know why the terminal says it can't identify "gcc". If I don't have it, how did I compile in cb?

GCC used by C::B is located in settings (see screenshot), did you install GCC seperately or did you install C::B bundled with it?

I install cb with the compiler.

Go to C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin and run:

Code Select Expand

gcc --version

I think your problem might be the same as in https://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,24357.msg169412.html#msg169412

thx for the reply.

so my clangd.exe is in "C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin\clangd.exe"
is that the problem? how do I fix it, like how do i get the file in the right path?

AFAIK you need to use MSYS2 and install GCC and Clang together in the same environment and use "mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-clang-tools-extra" for it to work properly.
