Include a directory recursively for vim autocompletion

Question

I use vim from the base directory of my source code. I would like to have autocomplete consider every word of every file in this directory (and subdirectories) when editing a single file.

Accepted Answer

```
:argadd **/*
```

This will recursively load all files into buffers, and the completion will consider them. Beware that this will load all files, including files you might not want to add, such as binary files or files in CVS directories. A more fine-grained glob such as the one below might be a good idea.

```
:argadd **/*.cpp
```
