  "github_readme_excerpt": "* Introduction\n\nemacs-clang-complete-async is an emacs extension to complete C and C++ code, \nit uses libclang to parse the source code on the fly and provides completion candidates to\nauto-complete (http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete).\n\n[[https://github.com/Golevka/emacs-clang-complete-async/raw/master/screenshots/showcase.png]]\n\nThis extension is not implemented in pure elisp, it is made up of a client part\n(auto-complete-clang-async.el, written in elisp) and a server part\n(clang-complete binary, written in C), they work cooperately in asynchonous\nclient-server fashion.\n\n* Experimental Feature - On the fly syntax checking\n\nAn experimental feature is added to this branch --- running\n=ac-clang-syntax-check= to highlight errornous lines in your souce code.\n\n[[https://github.com/Golevka/emacs-clang-complete-async/raw/master/screenshots/syntax_check.png]]\n\n\n* Setup\n\nCompile the server part (clang-complete binary) first, by executing\n=make=. The build process uses =llvm-config= to determine the location of\nlibclang and the appropriate compile flags to use. If =llvm-config= is not in\nyour path or has a different name, you can pass =make= an =LLVM_CONFIG=\nargument, e.g.  =make LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-3.4=.\n\nCopy auto-complete-clang-async.el and the previously compiled\nclang-complete executable to ~/.emacs.d/, and add the following code to your\n.emacs file.\n\n#+BEGIN_SRC elisp\n(require \u0027auto-complete-clang-async)\n\n(defun ac-cc-mode-setup ()\n  (setq ac-clang-complete-executable \"~/.emacs.d/clang-complete\")\n  (setq ac-sources \u0027(ac-source-clang-async))\n  (ac-clang-launch-completion-process)\n)\n\n(defun my-ac-config ()\n  (add-hook \u0027c-mode-common-hook \u0027ac-cc-mode-setup)\n  (add-hook \u0027auto-complete-mode-hook \u0027ac-common-setup)\n  (global-auto-complete-mode t))\n\n(my-ac-config)\n#+END_SRC\n\nNow emacs-clang-complete-async will show completion candidates automatically\nwhen you type as usual in C or C++ mode.\n\n\n* Usage\n\nThis extension fades in emacs C/C++ mode and provides candidates\naut",
