irony-mode does not pick up include paths
cc-mode, emacs
Solution
You can take a look here: https://github.com/Sarcasm/irony-mode#i-got-an-error-due-to-stdargh-how-to-solve-this
The variable `irony-libclang-additional-flags` should meet your needs. It should work without calling `irony-reload-flags`.
It's not a buffer-local variable though, so you don't need to put it in the hook.
I would recommend the following:
(setq irony-libclang-additional-flags
(append '("-I" "inc") irony-libclang-additional-flags))
Problem
I've recently started using `irony-mode` for completion in emacs (24.3.1). However, I seem unable to add additional system include paths to package. I have this code in my config: ``` (defun ac-cc-mode-clang-hooks () (yas/minor-mode-on) (auto-complete-mode 1) ;; avoid enabling irony-mode in modes that inherits c-mode, e.g: php-mode (when (member major-mode irony-known-modes) (irony-mode 1)) ;; set compiler flags to include header files (setq irony-compile-flags '("-Iinc")) (irony-reload-flags)) (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'ac-cc-mode-clang-hooks) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'ac-cc-mode-clang-hooks) ``` irony-mode is loaded correctly and completion works perfectly for include paths which the compiler knows explicitly (i.e. everything printed by `echo "" | g++ -v -x c++ -E -`) but the additional include path `inc` is not picked up (does not matter whether its a relative or absolute path). However, if I add the information to the `.clang_complete` file and load it using `C-c C-b` the include path is recognised and used. Obviously this is a less than ideal setup because - I don't want to create a `.clang_complete` file for each single piece of code I'm working on - The `.clang_complete` file is not loaded automatically. Is there some working method (which does not involve a per-project setup, I don't want to create project management files for each piece of code) for telling `irony-mode` where to look for header files?
