ccls installed in neovim but never works properly

Viewed 1867

Neovim shows warnings and errors that shouldn't appear. Specifically it seems like it works with older versions of C++(like C++98 or C++03):

  • No member named 'make_unique' in namespace 'std' (make_unique definitely exists)

  • Or, when I try to initialise a variable using braces (like int i{}) it never accepts it and throws errors

This is my .ccls file:

clang
%cpp -std=c++2a
%h x
%h c++-header

This is my coc-settings.json file:

{
"languageserver": {
  "ccls": {
    "command": "ccls",
    "filetypes": ["c", "cc", "cpp", "c++", "objc", "objcpp"],
    "rootPatterns": [".ccls", "compile_commands.json", ".git/", ".hg/", ".vim/"],
    "initializationOptions": {
        "cache": {
          "directory": "/tmp/ccls"
        }
      }
  }
}
}

This is my compile_commands.json file:

[

    {
        "command": "clang++",
        "arguments": ["-std=c++17", "-Wall", "-I./", "${file}"],
        "directory": "${fileDirname}",
        "file": "${file}",
        "output": "${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
    }

]

The version of clang++ is 13.0.0

And this is my init.vim file:

:set number
:set relativenumber
:set autoindent
:set tabstop=4
:set shiftwidth=4
:set smarttab

What am I doing wrong??? Thank you for your time.

Your compile_commands.json seems odd. This is what I do to make neovim index my .cpp file.

  • Create a CMakeLists.txt that have this line: set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
  • Build my project with cmake, then you should have a compile_commands.json in your build directory
  • Use symlink to create a compile_commands.json file which link to the real compile_commands.json file (the symlink file should be placed at the same place as CMakeLists.txt file)
  • Open nvim at the same place at compile_commands.json symlink file

This is an example of my compile_commands.json file:

[
{
  "directory": "/Users/dla/workspace/minhduc/Coding-Exercises/Divers/Test/C++/build",
  "command": "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/c++  -I/Users/dla/workspace/minhduc/Coding-Exercises/Divers/Test/C++/include -I/Users/dla/workspace/minhduc/Coding-Exercises/Divers/Test/C++/../../../Common/C++ -isystem /Users/dla/workspace/minhduc/Coding-Exercises/Divers/Test/C++/build/_deps/googletest-src/googletest/include -isystem /Users/dla/workspace/minhduc/Coding-Exercises/Divers/Test/C++/build/_deps/googletest-src/googletest  -isysroot /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk -Wno-unused-result -Werror=reorder -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu++11 -o CMakeFiles/main-test.dir/main_test.cpp.o -c /Users/dla/workspace/minhduc/Coding-Exercises/Divers/Test/C++/main_test.cpp",
