Using LSP & clangd in Vim

After having used YouCompleteMe [https://jonasdevlieghere.com/a-better-youcompleteme-config/], I finally decided to give one of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) [https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/] implementations a spin. As an LLVM developer I've been following clangd's development and wanted to try it out. At the time of writing, several LSP

Reference Counting PIMPL Idiom

The pointer to implementation or PIMPL idiom is a popular C++ idiom for decoupling the representation and implementation of a class. It reduces compilation times and enables a stable API while allowing the internals to change. Reference counting is another ubiquitous programming technique, used to manage an object's lifetime by

Exposing Containers of Unique Pointers

Exposing Containers of Unique Pointers

The std::unique_ptr is probably one of my favorite and most used features in modern C++. The unique pointer is as powerful as it is simple, and assuming you've used it before, you surely know how awesome it is. There are many great articles written about unique pointers, so

Order Your Members

The C++ standard guarantees that the members of a class or struct appear in memory in the same order as they are declared. > Nonstatic data members of a (non-union) class with the same access control are allocated so that later members have higher addresses within a class object. The order

Guaranteed Copy Elision

The new C++17 standard brings many exciting new features. A smaller, more subtle improvement it brings is guaranteed copy elision. The keyword is guaranteed, as copy elision itself has always been part of the standard. Although it might not be a change as radical as, say, structured bindings, I'm

LibEBC & ebcutil

In a previous blog post [https://jonasdevlieghere.com/embedded-bitcode/] I wrote about bitcode. Embedding it was already possible for quite some time with Apple's fork of LLVM that ships with Xcode. Recently, Apple upstreamed (parts of) their implementation making it possible to do the same with the open source clang

Understanding the Clang AST

Understanding the Clang AST

Clang is everywhere; It is the core of my favorite Vim plugin YouCompleteMe [https://jonasdevlieghere.com/a-better-youcompleteme-config/], it recently got supported by Microsoft Visual Studio [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2015/12/04/introducing-clang-with-microsoft-codegen-in-vs-2015-update-1.aspx] , it is mentioned in numerous episodes of CppCast [http://cppcast.com/] and it

A better YouCompleteMe Config

If you're like me and have (1) been using Vim for a while and (2) have been programming in C++, you've likely heard about YouCompleteMe [https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe]. YCM is an awesome auto-completion engine for Vim. For C++ and other C-based languages it uses the libclang under the
