How to enable intellisense in VIM (gvim)

Question

Is there any way I can have intellisense enabled in VIM (gvim). I wish to use it for STL.

Answer 1

Forgive me for correcting you first, but IntelliSense is the name of the advanced code completion in Microsoft Visual Studio, not the general term for code completion.

To answer your question, you will probably want to use YouCompleteMe. The setup is not terribly hard with vim plugin managers, but don't forget to run the shell script that compiles the compiled component of YCM. Read the docs thoroughly, most initial problems are avoidable.

Answer 2

coc seems quite promising, integrates intellisense with vim (8.0 and above) and neovim

Answer 3

setting up ctags databases for use with omnicppcomplete

create tags for stdlibc++ and STL

$ ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q -f ~/.vim/tags/stdlibcpp /usr/include/c++/4.2.4/

$ ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q -f ~/.vim/tags/boost /usr/include/boost/

$ apt-file list libc6-dev | grep -o '/usr/include/.*h'> ~/.vim/tags/libc6-filelist
$ ctags --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q -I__wur -I__THROW -I__nonnull+ -f ~/.vim/tags/libc6 -L ~/.vim/tags/libc6-filelist
