description
There is a new vim plugin OmniCppComplete at:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1520
It works better, is easier to setup and is also better maintained, so please use that.

IMPORTANT: I will NOT maintain icomplete in future anymore, if you are interested in improving it, please tell me, and you can take over maintainership.

------------------------------------

**** Features ****
- Automatic generation of a tags file for the current source file by building a tree of included files.
- Listing members (also inherited ones) of a class
For QString s; s. only non-static members are suggested, for QString:: only static ones.
- Listing all function signatures of overloading methods
- Recognizes return values of methods.
QWidget w; w.rect().topLeft(). // Lists completions for a QPoint
- Uses the scope of the cursor position
- Recognizes, if you are inside a method-definition and completes also private or protected variables for this class. For a global scope, only public members are suggested.
- Works in both console and graphical vim
- Uses a cache system for increased spead.
- Understands namespaces
- Automatic completions after . and ->

------------------------------------

Quick start: press <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-O> at any code position in insert mode.

install details
Make sure you have exuberant-ctags (from http://ctags.sourceforge.net) installed.

After that unpack the .tar.bz2 tarball, an run these commands:

        # ./configure
        # make
        # su
        $ make install

This will install a command line program 'icomplete' to /usr/local/bin/icomplete and copies the actual vim scripts to
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/icomplete.vim
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/cppcomplete.vim

If you have vim installed in a different directory, look at the README in the package it explains, how to change these paths.

If it still does not work, try to put these lines in your ~/.vimrc:

autocmd Filetype cpp,c,java,cs set omnifunc=cppcomplete#Complete

Make sure you have a vim version with the autocmd feature enabled, which should be the case in most cases anyway.
