NVim Project Configuration

NVim can be configured to use the COC-clangd plugin to provide code-completion as well as inline git blame using vim-plug.

Make sure you ran ./Meta/serenity.sh rebuild-toolchain as well as ./Meta/serenity.sh run.

Install vim-plug

See https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug.

Install coc.nvim

The config file for neovim is at ~/.config/nvim/init.vim or if set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim.

Add the Plugin:

Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', { 'branch': 'release' }

Run :PlugInstall inside nvim.

Install coc-clangd via CocInstall

:CocInstall coc-clangd

Note

: This guide is tested with clangd version 14.0.6 and 15.0.6.

In case you have not installed clangd already install it with :CocCommand clangd.install.

This will install a separate version of clangd just for neovim.

Configure coc-clangd in coc-settings.json

Use the following settings to ensure that coc-clangd works out of the box.

Note

: You might want to adjust the clangd.fallbackFlags depending on your build system and customize the inlayHints.sep based on your preference.

{
    "clangd.fallbackFlags": ["-std=c++20"],
    "semanticTokens.enable": true,
    "inlayHint.subSeparator": "︴",
    "inlayHints.enableParameter": true,
    "clangd.inlayHints.sep": "⇝"
}

To change the coc-settings.json go to the file ~/.config/nvim/coc-settings.json or type :CocConfig in the command line.

Note

: In case you already had another c++ language server configured in the coc-settings.json you might want to nuke it first and work towards your desired config by adding the other parts back in to avoid conflicts.

Note

: If you have configured clangd as a languageServer in coc-settings.json, you should remove it to avoid running clangd twice!

Note

: clangd.inlayHints.sep breaks on clangd 15.0.6.

Install git blame (Optional)

Plug 'f-person/git-blame.nvim'

Run :PlugInstall inside nvim.

Configure your init.vim

The config file for neovim is at ~/.config/nvim/init.vim or if set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim.

The init.vim excerpt:

Configure .clangd

Note

: Every time a new source is added or the compilation commands get adjusted (through CMake) you need to rerun ./Meta/serenity.sh rebuild.

Link ln -s /path/to/serenity/Build/x86_64/compile_commands.json /path/to/serenity/compile_commands.json.

Create /path/to/serenity/.clangd (replace /path/to/serenity with your SerenityOS directory) with content of the clangd section in the VSCodeConfiguration.md.

Note

: You can add a Remove part, where you can remove unwanted flags such as those that aren't supported by the current version of clang.
