aha, this is the basic usage of clang's code completion. nice!!
maybe the c-index-test has more.

This + Qt TextEdit = https://github.com/d3faultdotxbe/Text-Edit-With-Clang-Code-Completion
Thanks for giving me the starting pieces :-P

Hey there!
Im using this as a starting point for libclang exploration. How can I pass "include paths" to a translation unit so additional headers are parsed as well during autocompletion?
