Re: A guide on setting up C/C++ development environment for Emacs

[Tu Hoang Do]

CEDET is not slow. It's reasonably fast given it is implemented in Emacs
Lisp. It needs time for parsing to build a database, so you see a message
printing this: parsing....<file> in the minibuffer. It needs parsing to
build up a database for smart completion. After the first time parsing,
completion happens instantly and you should enable Semanticdb minor mode to
save the parsing results, so CEDET won't have to parse the next time. CEDET
can handle project with the size of Emacs really well. I think even project
with more than a million lines of code. CEDET is the only viable solution
so far I found for real smart completion in Emacs. Other clang based
solution is pretty limited: you can only get completion from system header
and current directory, but not for your project. You have to add the
include paths to tell Clang where your project include paths are, and you
have to specify with absolute paths. It's really tedious.
