history

Project history and usage

emacs-clang-complete-async is an Emacs extension that uses libclang and a helper binary to provide asynchronous C and C++ code completion.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in May 2012. Its README describes a client/server design with an Emacs Lisp client and a C server binary named clang-complete.

Adoption history

Homebrew packages the project at version 0.5 from the official GitHub tag. Official public metadata is otherwise thin, so broader adoption history should be treated cautiously.

How it is used

Users build the clang-complete server with make, copy the Emacs Lisp file and binary into ~/.emacs.d, add setup code to .emacs, and optionally configure clang flags in .emacs or .dir-locals.el.

Why package nerds care

The package is relevant to editor and package-manager users as an older Emacs completion integration that wrapped libclang before newer language-server workflows became dominant.
