* Description :unfold:
This module adds support for the C-family of languages: C, C++, and Objective-C.
- Code completion (~company-irony~)
- eldoc support (~irony-eldoc~)
- Syntax-checking (~flycheck-irony~)
- Code navigation (~rtags~)
- File Templates ([[../../editor/file-templates/templates/c-mode][c-mode]], [[../../editor/file-templates/templates/c++-mode][c++-mode]])
- Snippets ([[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-snippets/tree/master/cc-mode][cc-mode]], [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-snippets/tree/master/c-mode][c-mode]], [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-snippets/tree/master/c++-mode][c++-mode]])
- Several improvements to C++11 indentation and syntax highlighting.

* Installation
[[id:01cffea4-3329-45e2-a892-95a384ab2338][Enable this module in your ~doom!~ block.]]
This module's requirements change depending on how you use it.
- If [[doom-module:+lsp]] is enabled, you need one of *clangd v9+* or *ccls*.
- If [[doom-module:+lsp]] is *not* enabled, you need *irony-server* and *rtags*.
- Other features in this module depend on:
- (optional) glslangValidator, for GLSL completion in ~glsl-mode~
- (optional) cmake, for code completion in ~cmake-mode~
- You will need a C/C++ compiler, like =gcc= or =clang=.
** LSP servers
=lsp-mode= and =eglot= support a few LSP servers, but =clangd= and =ccls= are
recommended.
+ clangd (must be v9 or newer) :: clangd is included with =llvm= which should be
available through your OS' package manager.
- Linux:
- Debian 11 & Ubuntu 20.10: ~$ apt-get install clangd-11~
- 20.04 LTS: [[https://pkgs.org/search/?q=clangd][clangd-10]]
- Fedora & CentOS/RHEL 8+: ~$ dnf install clang-tools-extra~
- openSUSE: ~$ zypper install clang~
- Arch: ~$ pacman -S clang~
- BSDs:
- NetBSD & OpenBSD: ~$ pkg_add clang-tools-extra~
- macOS: ~$ brew install llvm~ // 1GB+ installation! May take a while!
- Windows: use the win64 installer from [[https://releases.llvm.org/download.html][LLVM's GitHub release page]].
+ ccls :: Available in many OS' package managers as =ccls=. Otherwise, there are
alternative install methods listed [[https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls/wiki/Install][in the project's wiki]].
+ cmake-language-server :: available through ~pip~ on most distributions
** irony-server
Irony powers the code completion, eldoc and syntax checking systems.
After installing its dependencies (Clang and CMake), run ~M-x
irony-install-server~ in Emacs.
*** macOS
Due to linking issues, macOS users must compile irony-server manually:
#+begin_src sh
brew install cmake
brew install llvm
git clone https://github.com/Sarcasm/irony-mode irony-mode
#+end_src
#+begin_src sh
mkdir irony-mode/server/build
pushd irony-mode/server/build
DEST="$HOME/.emacs.d/.local/etc/irony-server/"
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/llvm \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$DEST" ../
cmake --build . --use-stderr --config Release --target install
install_name_tool -change @rpath/libclang.dylib \
/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib/libclang.dylib \
"$DEST/bin/irony-server"
# Cleanup
popd
rm -rf irony-mode
#+end_src
** rtags
Code navigation requires an [[https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags][rtags]] server (~rdm~) installed. This should be
available through your OS's package manager.
This module will auto-start ~rdm~ when you open C/C++ buffers (so long as one
isn't already running). If you prefer to run it yourself:
#+begin_src sh
rdm &
rc -J $PROJECT_ROOT # loads PROJECT_ROOT's compile_commands.json
#+end_src
** =:editor format=
The formatter used is [[doom-executable:clang-format]] which should be installed alongside =clang=.
For more info, see [[doom-module::editor format]].
* TODO Usage
#+begin_quote
󱌣 /This module's usage documentation is incomplete./ [[doom-contrib-module:][Complete it?]]
#+end_quote
1. Enable this module.
2. Enable the ~+lsp~ flag for the appropriate modules you want LSP support for
(e.g. ~:lang (python +lsp)~ or ~:lang (rust +lsp)~),
3. Install the prerequisite LSP servers through your package manager or other
means. You can find a list of supported servers on [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode#supported-languages][the lsp-mode project page]].
4. Run ~$ doom sync~ on the command line and restart Emacs.
** Eglot-specific bindings
When using [[doom-module:+lsp]] and [[doom-module::tools lsp +eglot]], [[doom-package:lsp-mode]] is replaced with [[doom-package:eglot]], and an
additional function to get inheritance type hierarchy is added:
| Binding | Description |
|----------------------------+------------------------------------------------|
| [[kbd:][<localleader> c t]] | Display inheritance type hierarchy (upwards) |
| [[kbd:][<prefix> <localleader> c t]] | Display inheritance type hierarchy (downwards) |
* TODO Configure

#+end_quote
** Project compile settings
By default, a set of default compile settings are defined in
~+cc-default-compiler-options~ for C, C++ and Objective C. Irony, rtags and
flycheck will fall back to these. *This variable does nothing for LSP users.*
For a more universal solution: both LSP servers and irony will recognize a
[[https://sarcasm.github.io/notes/dev/compilation-database.html#ninja][compilation database]] (a ~compile_commands.json~ file). There are [[https://sarcasm.github.io/notes/dev/compilation-database.html][many ways to
generate one]]. Here is an example using [[http://www.cmake.org/][CMake]] and [[https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear][bear]]:
#+begin_src sh
# For CMake projects
cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON .
#+end_src
#+begin_src sh
# For non-CMake projects
make clean
bear make
#+end_src
Use ~M-x +cc/reload-compile-db~ to reload your compile db in an already-open
C/C++/ObjC buffer.
*** Known issues with bear on macOS
MacOS' [[https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899][System Integrity Protection (SIP)]] might interfere with bear if ~make~ is
under ~/usr/bin/~ which results in an empty compilation database.
From the bear [[https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear#empty-compilation-database-on-os-x-captain-or-fedora][readme]]:
#+begin_quote
Security extension/modes on different operating systems might disable library
preloads. This case Bear behaves normally, but the result compilation database
will be empty. (Please make sure it's not the case when reporting bugs.) Notable
examples for enabled security modes are: OS X 10.11 (check with csrutil status |
grep 'System Integrity Protection'), and Fedora, CentOS, RHEL (check with
sestatus | grep 'SELinux status').
Workaround could be to disable the security feature while running Bear. (This
might involve reboot of your computer, so might be heavy workaround.) Another
option if the build tool is not installed under certain directories. Or use
tools which are using compiler wrappers. (It injects a fake compiler which does
record the compiler invocation and calls the real compiler too.) An example for
such tool might be scan-build. The build system shall respect CC and CXX
environment variables.
#+end_quote
A workaround might be to install ~make~ via Homebrew which puts ~gmake~ under
=/usr/local/=:
#+begin_src sh
brew install make
#+end_src
#+begin_src sh
make clean
bear gmake
#+end_src

** Configure LSP servers
Search for your combination of =(LSP client package, LSP server)=. You are using
[[doom-package:lsp-mode]] by default, [[doom-package:eglot]] if you have [[doom-module::tools lsp +eglot]] active in
=$DOOMDIR/init.el= file.
*** LSP-mode with clangd
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! lsp-clangd
(setq lsp-clients-clangd-args
'("-j=3"
"--background-index"
"--clang-tidy"
"--completion-style=detailed"
"--header-insertion=never"
"--header-insertion-decorators=0"))
(set-lsp-priority! 'clangd 2))
#+end_src
This will both set your clangd flags and choose =clangd= as the default LSP
server everywhere clangd can be used.
*** LSP-mode with ccls
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(after! ccls
(setq ccls-initialization-options '(:index (:comments 2) :completion (:detailedLabel t)))
(set-lsp-priority! 'ccls 2)) ; optional as ccls is the default in Doom
#+end_src
This will both set your ccls flags and choose ccls as the default server. [[https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls/wiki/Customization#--initjson][CCLS
documentation]] lists available options, use =t= for ~true~, =:json-false= for
~false~, and =:json-null= for ~null~.
*** Eglot with clangd
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(set-eglot-client! 'cc-mode '("clangd" "-j=3" "--clang-tidy"))
#+end_src
This will both set your clangd flags and choose clangd as the default server (if
it is the last =set-eglot-client! 'cc-mode= in your config).
*** Eglot with ccls
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(set-eglot-client! 'cc-mode '("ccls" "--init={\"index\": {\"threads\": 3}}"))
#+end_src
This will both set your ccls flags and choose ccls as the default server (if it
is the last =set-eglot-client! 'cc-mode= in your config). [[https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls/wiki/Customization#--initjson][CCLS documentation]]
