C/C++ Development Workflow

Setup

Install nvim with coc.nvim and NERDTree

Add this to your .vimrc:

""" NERDTree
" Show NERDTree file manager
autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree | wincmd p
" Exit vim if NERDTree is last window
autocmd BufEnter * if tabpagenr('$') == 1 && winnr('$') == 1 && exists('b:NERDTree') &&b:NERDTree.isTabTree() | quit | endif
let g:NERDTreeWinSize=20

""" COC
so ~/.vim/coc.vim " (download from example on https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/release/Readme.md)

Install coc-clangd:

:CocInstall coc-clangd

Install scan-build

# pip install scan-build

Initialisation

Initialise, clone etc your project as usual. Then run (or whatever build system you are using):

$ intercept-build make all

You may wish to add this as a task in your Makefile:

intercept:
    intercept-build make all

Add the resulting compile_commands.json to your .gitignore:

$ echo compile_commands.json > .gitignore

Workflow

Edit code in nvim and build as normal

Run make intercept after adding any new files or includes.
