+C/C++ Support *c-support* *csupport*
+ Plugin version 5.0.5
+ for Vim version 6.0 and above
+ Fritz Mehner <mehner@fh-swf.de>
+
+C/C++-IDE for Vim/gVim. It is written to considerably speed up writing code in
+a consistent style. This is done by inserting complete statements,idioms, code
+snippets, templates, and comments. Syntax checking, compiling, running a
+program, running a code checker or indent can be done with a keystroke.

+
+
+==============================================================================
+1. USAGE WITH GUI (gVim) *csupport-usage-gvim*
+==============================================================================
+
+If the root menu 'C/C++' is not visible call it with the item "Load C Support"
+from the standard Tools-menu.
+The item "Load C Support" can also be used to unload the C/C++-root menu.
+
+Nearly all menu entries insert code snippets or comments. All these stuff is
+taken from template files and can be changed by the user to meet his
+requirements (see|csupport-templates|).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.1 MENU 'Comments' *csupport-comm*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.1 APPEND ALIGNED COMMENTS TO CONSECUTIVE LINES *csupport-comm-aligned*
+
+In NORMAL MODE the menu items 'end-of-line comment' will append an comment to
+the current line.
+In VISUAL MODE these item will append aligned comments to all marked lines.
+Marking the first 4 lines
+
+ print_double_array ( double array[],
+ int n,
+ int columns,
+ char* arrayname
+ )
+
+and choosing 'end-of-line com. /**/' will yield.
+
+ print_double_array ( double array[], /* */
+ int n, /* */
+ int columns, /* */
+ char* arrayname /* */
+ ) /* */
+
+If one ore more lines go beyond the starting column (s.below) the comments
+will start at the 2. column after the longest line. The cursor will be
+positioned inside the first comment.
+
+The default starting column is 49 ( = (multiple of 2,4, or 8) + 1 ). This can
+be changed by setting a global variable in the file ~/.vimrc , e.g. :
+
+ let g:C_LineEndCommColDefault = 45
+
+The starting column can also be set by the menu item
+'Comments->set end-of-line com. col' . Just position the cursor in an
+arbitrary column (column number is shown in the Vim status line) and choose
+this menu item. This setting is buffer related.
+
+If the cursor was at the end of a line you will be asked for a column number
+because this position is most likely not the desired starting column.
+Your choice will be confirmed.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.2 ADJUST END-OF-LINE COMMENTS *csupport-comm-realign*
+
+After some changes end-of-line comments may be no longer aligned:
+
+ print_double_array ( double array[], /* */
+ long int n, /* */
+ unsigned int columns, /* */
+ char* a_name /* */
+ ) /* */
+
+Realignment can be achieved with the menu item 'adjust end-of-line com.' In
+normal mode the comment (if any) in the current line will be aligned to the
+end-of-line comment column (see above) if possible. In visual mode the
+comments in the marked block will be aligned:
+
+ print_double_array ( double array[], /* */
+ long int n, /* */
+ unsigned int columns, /* */
+ char* a_name /* */
+ ) /* */
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.3 CODE TO COMMENT *csupport-code-to-comm*
+
+The marked block
+
+xxxxxxxx
+xxxxxxxx
+xxxxxxxx
+
+will be changed by the menu item 'code->comment /**/' into the multiline
+comment (all (partially) marked lines):
+
+/* xxxxxxxx
+ * xxxxxxxx
+ * xxxxxxxx
+ */
+
+The marked block will be changed by the menu item 'code->comment //' into the
+multiline comment
+
+//xxxxxxxx
+//xxxxxxxx
+//xxxxxxxx
+
+The menu items works also for a single line. A single line needs not to be
+marked.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.4 COMMENT TO CODE *csupport-comm-to-code*
+
+If one (or more) complete comment (i.e. all lines belonging to the comment) is
+marked the item 'comment->code' will uncomment it. If the following lines
+are marked
+
+ * printf ("\n");
+ */
+
+ printf ("\n");
+
+ // printf ("\n");
+ //
+
+ /*
+ * printf ("\n");
+ */
+
+uncommenting will yield
+
+ * printf ("\n");
+ */
+
+ printf ("\n");
+
+ printf ("\n");
+
+
+
+ printf ("\n");
+
+The first 2 lines are only a part of a C-comment and remain unchanged.
+A C-comment can start with /* , /** or /*! .
+
+The menu item works also for a single line with a leading // . A single line
+needs not to be marked.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.5 FRAME COMMENTS, FILE HEADER, ... *csupport-comm-frame*
+
+Frame comments, file header comments and function, methods, class descriptions
+are read as templates from the appropriate files (see |csupport-templates|).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.6 KEYWORD+comment *csupport-comm-keywords*
+
+Preliminary comments to document (and find again) places where works will be
+resumed shortly. Usually not meant for the final documentation.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.7 C TO C++ COMMENTS AND VICE VERSA *csupport-comm-c-cpp*
+
+The menu item '// xxx -> /* xxx */' changes a C++ comment into an C comment.
+This is done for the current line in normal or insert mode and for a marked
+area of lines in visual mode.
+If there are multiple C comments only the first one will be changed:
+ printf ("\n"); /* one */ /* two */ /* three */
+will be changed into
+ printf ("\n"); // one /* two */ /* three */
+
+The menu item '/* xxx */ -> // xxx' changes a C comment into an C++ comment.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.1.8 DATE AND DATE+TIME *csupport-comm-date*
+
+The format for 'date' and 'date time' can be defined by the user (see
+|csupport-templates-date|).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.2 MENU 'Statements' *csupport-stat*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.2.1 NORMAL MODE, INSERT MODE. *csupport-stat-normal-mode*
+
+An empty statement will be inserted and properly indented. The item 'if{}'
+will insert an if-statement:
+
+if ( )
+{
+}
+
+
+1.2.2 VISUAL MODE. *csupport-stat-visual-mode*
+
+STATEMENTS WITH BLOCKS AND CASE LABEL.
+--------------------------------------
+The highlighted area
+
+xxxxx
+xxxxx
+
+can be surrounded by one of the following statements:
+
+ +----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+ | if ( ) | if ( ) |
+ | { | { |
+ | xxxxx | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx | xxxxx |
+ | } | } |
+ | | else |
+ | | { |
+ | | } |
+ +----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+ | for ( ; ; ) | while ( ) |
+ | { | { |
+ | xxxxx | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx | xxxxx |
+ | } | } |
+ +----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+ | do | |
+ | { | { |
+ | xxxxx | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx | xxxxx |
+ | } | } |
+ | while ( ); | |
+ +----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+ | switch ( ) { |
+ | case : |
+ | break; |
+ | |
+ | case : |
+ | break; |
+ | |
+ | case : |
+ | break; |
+ | |
+ | case : |
+ | break; |
+ | |
+ | default: |
+ | break; |
+ | } |
+ +----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+
+For 'switch' and 'case' see |csupport-stat-switch| and |csupport-stat-case|.
+
+The whole statement will be indented after insertion.
+
+
+STATEMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKS.
+--------------------------
+One of the following statements can be inserted:
+
+ +-------------------------------+--------------------------+
+ | if ( ) | for ( ; ; ) |
+ +-------------------------------+--------------------------+
+ | if ( ) | while ( ) |
+ | else | |
+ +-------------------------------+--------------------------+
+ | case : | |
+ | break; | |
+ +-------------------------------+--------------------------+
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.3 MENU 'Preprocessor' *csupport-prep*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.3.1 NORMAL MODE, INSERT MODE. *csupport-prep-normal-mode*
+
+The preprocessor statements will be inserted and properly indented.
+
+1.3.2 VISUAL MODE. *csupport-prep-visual-mode*
+
+STATEMENTS WITH BLOCKS
+----------------------
+The highlighted area
+
+xxxxx
+xxxxx
+
+can be surrounded by one of the following statements:
+
+ +----------------------------+-----------------------------+
+ | #if CONDITION |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | #else /* ----- #if CONDITION ----- */ |
+ | |
+ | #endif /* ----- #if CONDITION ----- */ |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | #ifdef CONDITION |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | #else /* ----- #ifdef CONDITION ----- */ |
+ | |
+ | #endif /* ----- #ifdef CONDITION ----- */ |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | #ifndef CONDITION |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | #else /* ----- #ifndef CONDITION ----- */ |
+ | |
+ | #endif /* ----- #ifndef CONDITION ----- */ |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | #ifndef INC_TEST |
+ | #define INC_TEST |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | xxxxx |
+ | #endif /* ----- #ifndef INC_TEST ----- */ |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------+
+ | #if 0 /* ----- #if 0 : If0Label_1 ----- */ |
+ | |
+ | #endif /* ----- #if 0 : If0Label_1 ----- */ |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The macro name for an include guard (e.g. INC_TEST above) will be derived as a
+suggestion from the file name.
+
+1.3.3 BLOCK OUT CODE WITH #if 0 ... #endif *csupport-prep-if0*
+
+The menu item #if 0 #endif inserts the lines
+
+ #if 0 /* ----- #if 0 : If0Label_1 ----- */
+
+ #endif /* ----- #if 0 : If0Label_1 ----- */
+
+In visual mode the marked block of lines will be surrounded by these lines.
+
+This is usually done to temporarily block out some code. The label names like
+If0Label_1 are automatically inserted into the comments. The trailing numbers
+are automatically incremented. These numbers can be changed by the user. The
+next number will be one above the highest number found in the current buffer.
+
+A corresponding label can be found by searching with the vim star command (*).
+All labels can be found with a global search like :g/If0Label_/ or
+:g/If0Label_\d\+/. All corresponding lines can be deleted with :g/If0Label_/d .
+
+
+REMOVE THE ENCLOSING #if 0 ... #endif -CONSTRUCT.
+
+The menu item 'remove #if #endif' removes such a construct if the cursor is
+in the middle of such a section or on one of the two enclosing lines. Nested
+constructs will be untouched.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.4 MENU 'Idioms' *csupport-idioms*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.4.1 ENTRY 'function'
+
+NORMAL MODE, INSERT MODE:
+The name of the function is asked for and the following lines (for function
+name "f") will be inserted:
+
+ void
+ f ( )
+ {
+ return ;
+ } /* ---------- end of function f ---------- */
+
+VISUAL MODE:
+Main or [static] function: the highlighted lines will go inside the new
+function or main.
+for-loops: the highlighted lines will be set in braces.
+
+1.4.2 ENTRY 'open input file'
+
+The item 'open input file' will create the statements to open and close an
+input file (e.g. with the file pointer 'infile').
+
+1.4.3 ENTRY 'open output file'
+
+The item 'open output file' will create the statements to open and close an
+output file (e.g. with the file pointer 'outfile').
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.5 MENU 'Snippets' *csupport-snippets*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.5.1 CODE SNIPPETS
+
+Code snippets are pieces of code which are kept in separate files in a special
+directory (e.g. a few lines of code or a complete template for a Makefile).
+File names are used to identify the snippets. The snippet directory will be
+created during the installation ( $HOME/.vim/codesnippets-c is the default).
+Snippets are managed with the 3 items
+
+ C/C++ -> Snippets -> read code snippet
+ C/C++ -> Snippets -> write code snippet
+ C/C++ -> Snippets -> edit code snippet
+
+from the Snippets submenu.
+
+CREATING A NEW SNIPPET
+When nothing is marked, "write code snippet" will write the whole buffer
+to a snippet file, otherwise the marked area will be written to a file.
+
+INSERT A SNIPPET
+Select the appropriate file from the snippet directory ("read code snippet").
+The inserted lines will be indented.
+
+EDIT A SNIPPET
+This is a normal edit.
+
+INDENTATION / NO INDENTATION
+Code snippets are normally indented after insertion. To suppress indentation
+add the file extension "ni" or "noindent" to the snippet file name, e.g.
+
+ parameter_handling.c.noindent
+
+
+1.5.2 PICKING UP PROTOTYPES *csupport-proto*
+
+PICK UP PROTOTYPES.
+To make a prototype from a function head mark the function head and choose
+'Snippets -> pick up prototype'. From the first six lines of
+
+ void
+ print_double_array ( double array[], /* array to print */
+ int n, /* number of elements to print */
+ int columns, /* number of elements per column */
+ char* arrayname /* array name */
+ )
+ {
+ ...
+ } /* ---------- end of function print_double_array ---------- */
+
+the prototype
+
+ void print_double_array ( double array[], int n, int columns, char* arrayname );
+
+is produced and put in an internal buffer.
+- Leading and trailing whitespaces are removed.
+- All inner whitespaces are squeezed.
+- All comments will be discarded.
+- Trailing parts of the function body (e.g a '{' ) will also be removed.
+- The class name and the scope resolution operator will be removed (C++ method
+ implementations).
+Further prototypes can be picked up and gathered in the buffer.
+
+For C++ methods namespace names and class names will be removed
+(exception: 'std::' ). The first two lines of
+
+ std::string
+ ROBOT::Robot::get_name ( void )
+ {
+ return type_name;
+ } /* ----- end of method Robot::get_name ----- */
+
+result in the prototype
+
+ std::string get_name ( void );
+
+Folding may help picking up prototypes (see |csupport-folding|).
+
+
+INSERT PROTOTYPES
+With 'Snippets -> insert prototype(s)' all picked up prototypes currently in
+the buffer will be inserted below the cursor.
+The prototype buffer will be cleared after insertion.
+
+
+DISCARD PROTOTYPES
+The prototype buffer can be cleared with 'Snippets -> clear prototype(s)' .
+
+
+SHOW PROTOTYPES
+The list of gathered prototypes can be shown with
+'Snippets -> show prototype(s)'. The number and the filename are shown, e.g.
+
+ (1) matrix.c # double** calloc_double_matrix ( int rows, int columns );
+ (2) matrix.c # void free_double_matrix ( double **m );
+ (3) foomain.c # void foo ( );
+
+
+REMARK. Generating prototypes this way is nice in a small project. You may
+want to use an extractor like cextract or something else.
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.6 MENU 'C++' *csupport-c++*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.6.1 NORMAL MODE, INSERT MODE. *csupport-c++-normal-mode*
+
+An empty statement will be inserted and in some cases properly indented. The
+item 'try .. catch' will insert the following lines:
+
+ try {
+ }
+ catch ( const &ExceptObj ) { // handle exception:
+ }
+ catch (...) { // handle exception: unspezified
+ }
+
+The cursor will go into the try block.
+
+1.6.2 VISUAL MODE. *csupport-c++-visual-mode*
+
+The highlighted area can be surrounded by one of the following statements:
+
+ try - catch
+ catch
+ catch(...)
+ namespace { }
+ extern "C" { }
+
+The whole statement will be indented after insertion.
+
+1.6.3 METHOD IMPLEMENTATION *csupport-c++-method-impl*
+
+The menu item 'method implement.' asks for a method name. If this item is
+called the first time you will see just an scope resolution operator. If you
+specify the scope this is used the next time you call this item. If you use
+one of the menu items to generate a class (see |csupport-templates|) the
+scope will be extracted and used for the next method.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.7 MENU 'Run' *csupport-run*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.7.1 MINIMAL MAKE FUNCTIONALITY *csupport-run-buffer*
+
+The 'Run' menu provides a minimal make functionality for single file projects
+(e.g. in education) :
+
+SAVE AND COMPILE
+'save and compile' saves the buffer and run the compiler with the given
+options (see |csupport-custom-glob-vars|).
+
+An error window will be opened if the compiler reports errors and/or warnings.
+Quickfix commands can now be used to jump to an error location.
+
+Consider using maps like
+ map <silent> <F7> <Esc>:cp<CR>
+ map <silent> <F8> <Esc>:cn<CR>
+in your ~/.vimrc file to jump over the error locations and make navigation
+easier. The error list and the error locations in your source buffer will be
+synchronized.
+
+
+LINK
+'link' makes an executable from the current buffer. If the buffer is not
+saved, or no object is available or the object is older then the source step
+'save and compile' is executed first.
+
+The behavior of the compiler / linker is determined by the options assigned to
+the variables described in |csupport-custom-glob-vars| (4.group).
+
+RUN
+'run' runs the executable with the same name (extension .e) as the current
+buffer. If the buffer is not saved, or no executable is available or the
+executable is older then the source steps 'save and compile' and 'link' are
+executed first.
+
+
+1.7.2 COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS *csupport-run-cmdline-args*
+
+The item 'command line arguments' calls an input dialog which asks for command
+line arguments. These arguments are forwarded to the program which is run by
+the 'run' item. The arguments are kept until you change them.
+
+The arguments belong to the current buffer (that is, each buffer can have its
+own arguments).
+If the buffer gets a new name with "save as" the arguments will now belong to
+the buffer with the new name.
+
+The command line arguments can be followed by pipes and redirections:
+
+ 11 22 | sort -rn | head -10 > out
+
+Caveat: If you look for the current arguments by calling this menu item again
+be sure to leave it with a CR (not Esc !). Due to a limitation of an internal
+Vim function CR will keep the arguments, Esc with discard them.
+
+
+1.7.3 RUN make *csupport-run-make*
+
+The item 'make' runs the external make program.
+
+
+1.7.4 COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS FOR make *csupport-run-make-args*
+
+The item 'command line arguments for make' calls an input dialog which asks
+for command line arguments for make. These arguments are forwarded to make
+when called by the item 'make'.
+
+
+1.7.5 SPLINT *csupport-run-splint*
+
+Splint is a tool for statically checking C programs (see http://www.splint.org).
+Of course it has to be installed in order to be used within Vim. The menu
+item 'Run->splint' will run the current buffer through splint.
+
+An error window will be opened if splint has something to complain about.
+Quickfix commands can now be used to jump to an error location. For easier
+navigation see tip under 'SAVE AND COMPILE' |csupport-run-buffer|.
+
+Splint has many options. Presumably the best way is to keep the options in an
+option file (~/.splintrc). For a quick try you can use the menu item
+'Run->cmd. line arg. for splint' to specify some buffer related options.
+
+When vim is started this plugin will check whether splint is executable. If
+not, the menu item will *NOT' be visible.
+
+
+1.7.6 CODECHECK *csupport-run-codecheck*
+
+CodeCheck (TM) is a commercial code analyzing tool produced by Abraxas
+Software, Inc. (www.abraxas-software.com).
+Of course it has to be installed in order to be used within Vim. The menu
+item 'Run->CodeCheck' will run the current buffer through CodeCheck.
+
+An error window will be opened if CodeCheck has something to complain about.
+Quickfix commands can now be used to jump to an error location. For easier
+navigation see tip under 'SAVE AND COMPILE' |csupport-run-buffer|.
+
+CodeCheck has many options. For a quick try you can use the menu item
+'Run->cmd. line arg. for CodeCheck' to specify some buffer related options.
+
+CodeCheck will be run with default options (see |csupport-custom-glob-vars|).
+The default options can be overwritten by placing a global variable in
+~/.vimrc , e.g.
+
+ let g:C_CodeCheckOptions = "-K13 -Rmeyers"
+
+The default name for the executable is 'check'. There are other names in use
+on different platforms. The name can be changed by placing a global variable
+in ~/.vimrc , e.g.
+
+ let g:C_CodeCheckExeName = "chknt.exe"
+
+When vim is started this plugin will check whether CodeCheck is executable. If
+not, the menu item will *NOT' be visible.
+
+
+1.7.7 INDENT *csupport-run-indent*
+
+The formatter 'indent' can be run over the whole buffer or a marked region.
+Before formatting the whole buffer this buffer will be saved to disk and you
+will be asked for a confirmation.
+
+Indent has many options. These are kept in the file '.indent.pro' in your home
+directory. See the indent manual for more information.
+
+
+1.7.8 HARDCOPY *csupport-run-hardcopy*
+
+Generates a PostScript file from the whole buffer or from a marked region.
+On a Windows system a printer dialog is displayed.
+
+The print header contains date and time for the current locale. The definition
+used is
+
+ let s:C_Printheader = "%<%f%h%m%< %=%{strftime('%x %X')} Page %N"
+
+The current locale can be overwritten by changing the language, e.g.
+
+ :language C
+
+or by setting a global variable in the file ~/.vimrc , e.g. :
+
+ let g:C_Printheader = "%<%f%h%m%< %=%{strftime('%x %X')} SEITE %N"
+
+See :h printheader and :h strftime() for more details.
+
+
+1.7.9 REBUILD TEMPLATES *csupport-run-templates*
+
+After editing one or more template files a click on this item rereads the
+template files and rebuilds all templates.
+
+
+1.7.10 XTERM SIZE *csupport-run-xterm*
+
+The size of the xterm used for running a program (below) can be set by this
+menu item. The default is 80 columns with 24 lines.
+This feature is not available under Windows.
+
+
+1.7.11 OUTPUT REDIRECTION *csupport-run-output*
+
+Running a program can be done in one of three ways:
+(1) Run the program from the gVim command line.
+ This is for interactive programs with little input and output.
+(2) Run the program and direct the output into a window with name "C-Output".
+ The buffer and its content will disappear when the window is closed and
+ reused otherwise.
+ This is for non-interactive programs with little to very much output.
+ You have unlimited line length, regex search, navigation, ...
+ The tabstop value will be set to 8 for "C-Output".
+(3) Run the program in an xterm.
+
+The output method can be chosen from the menu item 'Run->output: ...'.
+This menu has three states:
+
+ output: VIM->buffer->xterm
+ output: BUFFER->xterm->vim
+ output: XTERM->vim->buffer
+
+The first (uppercase) item shows the current method. The default is 'vim'.
+This can be changed by setting the variable g:C_OutputGvim to another value.
+Possible values are 'vim', 'buffer' and 'xterm' .
+
+The xterm defaults can be set in ~/.vimrc by the variable g:C_XtermDefaults .
+The default is "-fa courier -fs 12 -geometry 80x24" :
+ font name : -fa courier
+ font size : -fs 12
+ terminal size : -geometry 80x24
+See 'xterm -help' for more options. Xterms are not available under Windows.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1.8 'help' *csupport-help*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The root menu item 'help' shows this plugin help in a help window. The help
+tags must have been generated with
+ :helptags ~/.vim/doc
+
+==============================================================================
+2. USAGE WITHOUT GUI (Vim) *csupport-usage-vim*
+==============================================================================
+
+The frequently used constructs can be inserted with key mappings. The
+mappings are also described in the document c-hot-keys.pdf (reference card,
+part of this package).
+Hint: Typing speed matters. The combination of a leader ('\') and the
+following character(s) will only be recognized for a short time.
+The insert mode mappings start with ` (backtick).
+

+
+==============================================================================
+3. HOTKEYS *csupport-hotkeys*
+==============================================================================
+
+The following hotkeys are defined in normal, visual and insert mode:
+
+ F9 compile and link
+ Alt-F9 write buffer and compile
+ Ctrl-F9 run executable
+ Shift-F9 set command line arguments
+
+ Shift-F2 switch between source files and header files
+
+Shift-F2 can be used to switch between source files and header files if the
+plugin a.vim is present. To suppress the creation of a new header file when
+switching from a source file the file ~/.vimrc should contain a line
+
+ let g:alternateNoDefaultAlternate = 1
+
+A header file will only be opened if it already exists.
+
+The hotkeys are defined in the file type plugin c.vim .
+
+All hotkeys from the non-GUI mode also work for gVim (see |csupport-usage-vim|).
+
+==============================================================================
+4. CUSTOMIZATION *csupport-custom*
+==============================================================================
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+4.1 GLOBAL VARIABLES *csupport-custom-glob-vars*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Several global variables are checked by the script to customize it:
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ GLOBAL VARIABLE DEFAULT VALUE TAG (see below)
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ g:C_GlobalTemplateFile plugin_dir.'c-support/templates/Templates'
+ g:C_LocalTemplateFile $HOME.'/.vim/c-support/templates/Templates'
+ g:C_TemplateOverwrittenMsg 'yes'
+
+ g:C_CodeSnippets plugin_dir."/c-support/codesnippets/"
+ g:C_Dictionary_File ""
+ g:C_LoadMenus "yes"
+ g:C_MenuHeader "yes"
+ g:C_OutputGvim "vim"
+ g:C_XtermDefaults "-fa courier -fs 12 -geometry 80x24"
+ g:C_Printheader "%<%f%h%m%< %=%{strftime('%x %X')} Page %N"
+
+ Linux/UNIX:
+ g:C_ObjExtension ".o"
+ g:C_ExeExtension ""
+ g:C_CCompiler "gcc"
+ g:C_CplusCompiler "g++"
+ Windows:
+ g:C_ObjExtension ".obj"
+ g:C_ExeExtension ".exe"
+ g:C_CCompiler "gcc.exe"
+ g:C_CplusCompiler "g++.exe"
+ g:C_CFlags "-Wall -g -O0 -c"
+ g:C_LFlags "-Wall -g -O0"
+ g:C_Libs "-lm"
+ g:C_LineEndCommColDefault 49
+ g:C_CExtension "c"
+ g:C_TypeOfH "cpp"
+
+ g:C_CodeCheckExeName "check"
+ g:C_CodeCheckOptions "-K13"
+
+The variable plugin_dir will automatically be set to one of the following values:
+ $HOME.'/.vim/' for Linux/Unix
+ $VIM.'/vimfiles/' for Windows
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. group: g:C_GlobalTemplateFile : Sets the master template file (see|csupport-templates|)
+ g:C_LocalTemplateFile : Sets the local template file (see|csupport-templates|)
+ g:C_TemplateOverwrittenMsg : message if template is overwritten
+
+2. group: g:C_CodeSnippets : The name of the code snippet directory
+ (see |csupport-snippets|).
+ g:C_Dictionary_File : The name(s) of the dictionary file(s) used for
+ word completion (see also |csupport-dictionary|)
+ g:C_Root : the name of the root menu of this plugin
+ g:C_LoadMenus : Load menus and mappings ("yes", "no") at startup.
+ g:C_MenuHeader : Switch the submenu header on/off.
+ g:C_OutputGvim : when program is running output goes to the vim
+ command line ("vim"), to a buffer ("buffer") or to
+ an xterm ("xterm").
+ g:C_XtermDefaults : the xterm defaults
+ g:C_Printheader : hardcopy: definition of the page header
+
+3. group: g:C_CExtension : Extension of C files. Everything else is C++.
+ g:C_TypeOfH : filetype of header files with extension 'h' (c,cpp)
+ (see |csupport-comm-style|)
+ g:C_CCompiler : The name of the C compiler.
+ g:C_CplusCompiler : The name of the C++ compiler.
+ g:C_CFlags : Compiler flags used for a compilation.
+ g:C_LFlags : Compiler flags used for linkage.
+ g:C_Libs : Libraries to link with.
+ g:C_ObjExtension : C/C+ file extension for objects
+ (leading point required if not empty)
+ g:C_ExeExtension : C/C+ file extension for executables
+ (leading point required if not empty)
+ g:C_LineEndCommColDefault : Default starting column for end-of-line comments.
+ g:C_CodeCheckExeName : The name of the CodeCheck (TM) executable
+ (the default is 'check')
+ g:C_CodeCheckOptions : Default options for CodeCheck (TM)
+ (see |csupport-run-codecheck|).
+
+To override the default add appropriate assignments to ~/.vimrc .
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+4.2 THE ROOT MENU *csupport-custom-root-menu*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The variable g:C_Root, if set (in ~/.vimrc or in ~/.gvimrc), gives the name of
+the single Vim root menu item in which the C/C++ submenus will be put. The
+default is
+ '&C\/C\+\+.'
+Note the terminating dot. A single root menu can be used if the screen is
+limited or several plugins are used in parallel.
+
+If set to "", this single root menu item will not appear. Now all submenus
+are put into the Vim root menu. This is nice for beginners in a lab
+installation or for C-only programmers.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+4.3 SYSTEM-WIDE INSTALLATION *csupport-system-wide*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A system-wide installation (one installation for all users) is done as
+follows.
+
+As *** SUPERUSER *** :
+
+(1) Find the Vim installation directory.
+The Vim ex command ':echo $VIM' gives '/usr/local/share/vim' or something like
+that. Beyond this directory you will find the Vim installation, e.g. in
+'/usr/local/share/vim/vim71' if Vim version 7.1 has been installed.
+
+(2) Create a new subdirectory 'vimfiles', e.g. '/usr/local/share/vim/vimfiles'.
+
+(3) Install C/C++ Support
+Copy the archive cvim.zip to this new directory and unpack it:
+ unzip cvim.zip
+
+(4) Generate the help tags:
+ :helptags $VIM/vimfiles/doc
+
+
+As *** USER *** :
+
+Create your private snippet directory:
+
+ mkdir --parents ~/.vim/c-support/codesnippets
+
+You may want to copy the snippets comming with this plugin (in
+$VIM/vimfiles/c-support/codesnippets) into the new directory or to set a
+link to the global directory.
+
+Create your private template directory:
+
+ mkdir --parents ~/.vim/c-support/template
+
+Create a private template file 'Templates' in this directory to overwrite some
+macros, e.g.
+
+ *|AUTHOR|* = your name
+ *|AUTHORREF|* = ...
+ *|EMAIL|* = ...
+ *|COMPANY|* = ...
+ *|COPYRIGHT|* = ...
+
+You can also have local templates which overwrite the global ones. To suppress
+the messages in this case set a global variable in '~/.vimrc' :
+
+ let g:C_TemplateOverwrittenMsg= 'no'
+
+The default is 'yes'.
+
+==============================================================================
+5. TEMPLATE FILES AND TAGS *csupport-templates*
+==============================================================================
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+5.1 TEMPLATE FILES *csupport-templates-files*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Nearly all menu entries insert code snippets or comments. All these stuff is
+taken from template files and can be changed by the user to meet his
+requirements.
+
+The master template file is '$HOME/.vim/c-support/templates/Templates' for a
+user installation and '$VIM/vimfiles/c-support/templates/Templates' for a
+system-wide installation (see|csupport-system-wide|).
+
+The master template file starts with a macro section followed by templates for
+single menu items or better by including other template files grouping the
+templates according to the menu structure of this plugin. The master file
+could look like this:
+
+ $
+ $ =============================================================
+ $ ========== USER MACROS ======================================
+ $ =============================================================
+ $
+ *|AUTHOR|* = Dr. Fritz Mehner
+ *|AUTHORREF|* = mn
+ *|EMAIL|* = mehner@fh-swf.de
+ *|COMPANY|* = FH Südwestfalen, Iserlohn
+ *|COPYRIGHT|* = Copyright (c)*|YEAR|, |AUTHOR|*
+ $
+ $ =============================================================
+ $ ========== FILE INCLUDES ====================================
+ $ =============================================================
+ $
+ *|includefile|* = c.comments.template
+ *|includefile|* = c.cpp.template
+ *|includefile|* = c.idioms.template
+ *|includefile|* = c.preprocessor.template
+ *|includefile|* = c.statements.template
+
+Lines starting with a dollar sign are comments. The section starting
+with *|AUTHOR|* assigns values to predefined tags
+(see|csupport-templates-macros|) to personalize some templates. Other
+predefined tags with given default values can be used (e.g. *|YEAR|* ).
+
+User defined tags are possible. They have the following syntax:
+
+ *|macroname|* = replacement
+
+A macroname starts with a letter (uppercase or lowercase) followed by zero or
+more letters, digits or underscores.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+5.2 MACROS *csupport-templates-macros*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The following macro names are predefined. The first group is used to
+personalize templates.
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ PREDEFINED MACROS DEFAULT VALUE
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*|AUTHOR|* ""
+*|AUTHORREF|* ""
+*|EMAIL|* ""
+*|COMPANY|* ""
+*|PROJECT|* ""
+*|COPYRIGHTHOLDER|* ""
+*|includefile|* ""
+
+*|BASENAME|* filename without path and suffix
+*|DATE|* the preferred date representation for the current locale
+ without the time
+*|FILENAME|* filename without path
+*|PATH|* path without filename
+*|SUFFIX|* filename suffix
+*|TIME|* the preferred time representation for the current locale
+ without the date and the time zone or name or abbreviation
+*|YEAR|* the year as a decimal number including the century
+
+*|includefile|* can be used to include an additional template file. A file
+will be included only once. Commenting and uncommenting include macros is a
+simple way to switch between several sets of templates (see also
+|csupport-run-templates|). Overwriting existing macros and templates is
+possible.
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ PREDEFINED TAGS
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ <CURSOR> The cursor position after insertion of a template
+ <SPLIT> The split point when inserting in visual mode
+ (see|csupport-templates-definition|)
+
+A dependent template file can start with its own macro section. There is no
+need to have all user defined macros in the master file.
+When the first template definition is found (see below) macro definitions are
+no longer recognized.
+
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ USER DEFINED FORMATS FOR DATE AND TIME *csupport-templates-date*
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The format for *|DATE|* ,*|TIME|* , and*|YEAR|* can be set by the user. The
+defaults are
+ *|DATE|* '%x'
+ *|TIME|* '%X'
+ *|YEAR|* '%Y'
+See the manual page of the C function strftime() for the format. The accepted
+format depends on your system, thus this is not portable! The maximum length
+of the result is 80 characters.
+
+User defined formats can be set using the following global variables in
+~/.vimrc , e.g.
+ let g:C_FormatDate = '%D'
+ let g:C_FormatTime = '%H:%M'
+ let g:C_FormatYear = 'year %Y'
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+5.3 TEMPLATES *csupport-templates-names*
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+5.3.1 Template names
+
+The template behind a menu entry is identified by a given name. The first part
+of the name identifies the menu, the second part identifies the item. The
+modes are also hard coded (see|csupport-templates-definition|for the use of
+<SPLIT>).

+
+5.3.2 Template definition *csupport-templates-definition*
+
+A template definition starts with a template head line with the following
+syntax:
+
+ == templatename == [ position == ]
+
+The templatename is one of the above template identifiers. The position
+attribute is optional. Possible attribute values are:
+
+ above insert the template before the current line
+ append append the template to the current line
+ below insert the template below the current line
+ insert insert the template at the cursor position
+ start insert the template before the first line of the buffer
+
+An example:
+
+ == comment.function ==
+ /*
+ * === FUNCTION =======================================================
+ * Name: <CURSOR>
+ * Description:
+ * ======================================================================
+ */
+
+The definition of a template ends at the next head line or at the end of the
+file.
+
+Templates for the visual mode can use <SPLIT>. The text before <SPLIT> will
+than be inserted above the marked area, the text after <SPLIT> will be
+inserted behind the marked area. An example:
+
+ == statements.if-block-else ==
+ if ( <CURSOR> ) {
+ <SPLIT>} else {
+ }
+
+If applied to the marked block
+
+ xxxxxxxxxxx
+ xxxxxxxxxxx
+
+this template yields
+
+ if ( ) {
+ xxxxxxxxxxx
+ xxxxxxxxxxx
+ } else {
+ }
+
+The templates with a visual mode are shown in the table under
+|csupport-templates-names|.
+
+5.3.3 Template expansion *csupport-templates-expansion*
+
+There are additional ways to control the expansion of a template.
+
+USER INPUT
+----------
+If the usage of a yet undefined user macro starts with a question mark the
+user will be asked for the replacement first, e.g. with the following template
+
+ == idioms.function ==
+ void<CURSOR>
+ *|?FUNCTION_NAME|* ( )
+ {
+ <SPLIT> return ;
+ } /* ----- end of function*|FUNCTION_NAME|* ----- */
+
+The can specify the function name which then will be applied twice. If the
+macro was already in use the old value will be suggested as default.
+
+MACRO MANIPULATION
+------------------
+
+A macro expansion can be controlled by the following attributes
+
+ :l change macro text to lowercase
+ :u change macro text to uppercase
+ :c capitalize macro text
+ :L legalize name
+
+The include guard template is an example for the use of ':L' :
+
+ == preprocessor.ifndef-def-endif ==
+ #ifndef *|?BASENAME:L|_INC*
+ #define *|BASENAME|_INC*
+ <CURSOR><SPLIT>
+ #endif // ----- #ifndef*|BASENAME|_INC* -----
+
+The base name of the file shall be used as part of the include guard name.
+The predefined macro*|BASENAME|* is used to ask for this part because this
+macro has already a defined value. That value can accepted or replaced by the
+user. For the filename 'test test++test.h' the legalized base name
+'TEST_TEST_TEST' will be suggested.
+
+Legalization means:
+ - replace all whitespaces by underscores
+ - replace all non-word characters by underscores
+ - replace '+' and '-' by underscore
+
+
+==============================================================================
+6. C/C++ DICTIONARY *csupport-dictionary*
+==============================================================================
+
+The files
+
+ c-c++-keywords.list
+ k+r.list
+ stl_index.list
+
+are a part of this plugin and can be used (together with your own lists) as
+dictionaries for automatic word completion. This feature is enabled by
+default. The default word lists are
+
+ plugin_dir/c-support/wordlists/c-c++-keywords.list
+ plugin_dir/c-support/wordlists/k+r.list
+ plugin_dir/c-support/wordlists/stl_index.list
+
+The variable plugin_dir will automatically be set by the plugin to one of the
+following values:
+ $HOME.'/.vim/' for Linux/Unix
+ $VIM.'/vimfiles/' for Windows
+If you want to use an additional list MyC.list put the following lines into
+ ~/.vimrc :
+
+ let g:C_Dictionary_File = PLUGIN_DIR.'/c-support/wordlists/c-c++-keywords.list,'.
+ \ PLUGIN_DIR.'/c-support/wordlists/k+r.list,'.
+ \ PLUGIN_DIR.'/c-support/wordlists/stl_index.list,'.
+ \ PLUGIN_DIR.'/c-support/wordlists/MyC.list'
+
+When in file ~/.vimrc the name PLUGIN_DIR has to be replaced by $HOME or
+$VIM (see above). Whitespaces in the pathnames have to be escaped with a
+backslash.
+The right side is a comma separated list of files. Note the point at the end
+of the first line (string concatenation) and the backslash in front of the
+second line (continuation line).
+You can use Vim's dictionary feature CTRL-X, CTRL-K (and CTRL-P, CTRL-N).

+7. EXTEND taglist.vim FOR make AND qmake *csupport-taglist*
+==============================================================================
+
+The use of the Vim plugin taglist.vim (Author: Yegappan Lakshmanan) is highly
+recommended. It uses the program ctags which generates tag files for 3 dozen
+languages (Exuberant Ctags, Darren Hiebert, http://ctags.sourceforge.net).
+With the following extensions the list of targets in a makefile can be shown
+in the taglist window.
+
+1) Append the file customization.ctags to the file $HOME/.ctags .
+
+2) Add the following lines (from customization.vimrc) to $HOME/.vimrc :
+
+ "
+ "-------------------------------------------------------------------
+ " taglist.vim : toggle the taglist window
+ " taglist.vim : define the title texts for make
+ " taglist.vim : define the title texts for qmake
+ "-------------------------------------------------------------------
+ noremap <silent> <F11> <Esc><Esc>:Tlist<CR>
+ inoremap <silent> <F11> <Esc><Esc>:Tlist<CR>
+
+ let tlist_make_settings = 'make;m:makros;t:targets'
+ let tlist_qmake_settings = 'qmake;t:SystemVariables'
+
+ if has("autocmd")
+ " ---------- qmake : set file type for *.pro ----------
+ autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.pro set filetype=qmake
+ endif " has("autocmd")
+
+3) restart vim/gvim
+
+The two maps will toggle the taglist window (hotkey F11) in all editing modes.
+The two assignments define the headings for the (q)make sections in the
+taglist window. The autocmd set the file type 'qmake' for the filename
+extension 'pro' (ctags needs this).
+
+==============================================================================
+8. SYNTAX BASED FOLDING *csupport-folding*
+==============================================================================
+
+Syntax based folding can be enabled by adding the following lines to the file
+'~/.vim/syntax/c.vim':
+
+ syn region cBlock start="{" end="}" transparent fold
+ set foldmethod=syntax
+ " initially all folds open:
+ set foldlevel=999
+
+You may have to create this file first. See |folding| for more information.
+
+==============================================================================
+9. WINDOWS PARTICULARITIES *csupport-windows*
+==============================================================================
+
+The plugin should go into the directory structure below the local
+installation directory $HOME/.vim/ for LINUX/UNIX and $VIM/vimfiles/ for
+Windows.
+The values of the two variables can be found from inside Vim:
+ :echo $VIM
+or
+ :echo $HOME
+
+Configuration files:
+
+ LINUX/UNIX : $HOME/.vimrc and $HOME/.gvimrc
+ Windows : $VIM/_vimrc and $VIM/_gvimrc
+
+Compiler settings:
+
+It could be necessary to add further settings for your compiler. To compile
+C++-programs using a Dev-C++ installation (http://www.bloodshed.net) the
+following item in $VIM/_vimrc is needed (depends on the Dev-C++ install
+directory):
+
+ let g:C_CFlags = '-Wall -g -o0 -c -I c:\programs\dev-c++\include\g++'
+
+==============================================================================
+10. TROUBLESHOOTING *csupport-troubleshooting*
+==============================================================================
+
+* I do not see any new main menu item.
+ - Was the archive extracted into the right directory?
+
+* How can I see what was loaded?
+ - Use ':scriptnames' from the Vim command line.
+
+* No main menu item.
+ - Loading of plugin files must be enabled. If not use
+ :filetype plugin on
+ This is the minimal content of the file '$HOME/.vimrc'. Create one if there
+ is none, or better use customization.vimrc.
+
+* Most key mappings do not work.
+ - They are defined in a filetype plugin in '$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/'. Use ':filetype'
+ to check if filetype plugins are enabled. If not, add the line
+ filetype plugin on
+ to the file '~/.vimrc'.
+
+* Some hotkeys do not work.
+ - The hotkeys might be in use by your graphical desktop environment.
+ Under KDE Ctrl-F9 is the hotkey which let you switch to the 9. desktop.
+ The key settings can usually be redefined.
+
+* Splint and/or CodeCheck menu item not visible.
+ - The program is not installed or not found (path not set) or not executable.
