🎀 irony-server — the manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay bestie, so <rainbow>irony-server</rainbow> is a thing that exists in the General Commands Manual and we're gonna talk about it. Sit down, hydrate, this one's cute actually.

✨ Name ✨

irony-server — the back-end server for Emacs irony-mode. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

✨ Synopsis ✨

irony-server [options] [command] [<args>]

like... that's the shape of it. options, then a command, then whatever args that command is hungry for. 🍓

✨ Description ✨

so irony-server is the one that hands the libclang interface over to irony-mode. it talks in a simple protocol based on S-expression — very demure, very lisp-coded of it. 💅

it's written in C++, main character language, no notes. and it needs a couple of packages already installed on your system to do its little thing:

  • CMake >= 2.8.3
  • libclang

no cap, if those aren't there, it's not gonna go. 🧚

✨ Options ✨

  • -v, --version — show the version and then immediately dip. ✌️
  • -h, --help — show a more detailed command help. like, the extra-detailed one. 📖
  • -i, --interactive — run an interactive command loop. it ONLY accepts the Commands listed below, so don't get creative. this is primarily a machine interface that you (a human) interact with through irony.el, bestie. you're not really supposed to hand-feed it. 🤖
  • -d, --debug — write debug info to the log file. messy but make it documented. 🐛
  • --log-file PATH — write logs to PATH instead of to standard error. redirect your drama, queen. 📝

✨ Commands ✨

  • candidates PREFIX STYLE — print completion candidates (requires a previous complete first, so do the homework). STYLE is "exact", "case-insensitive" or "smart-case". 🎯
  • complete FILE LINE COL [-- [COMPILE_OPTIONS...]] — perform code completion at a given location. ✨
  • completion-diagnostics — print the diagnostics that got generated during complete. the receipts. 🧾
  • diagnostics — print the diagnostics of the last parse. 🩺
  • exit — exit interactive mode, print absolutely nothing. silent, mysterious, iconic. 💀
  • get-compile-options BUILD_DIR FILE — get compile options for FILE from the JSON database in PROJECT_ROOT. 🔍
  • get-type LINE COL — get the type of the symbol at a given location. what IS that thing. 🦋
  • help — show this message. hi again. 👋
  • parse FILE [-- [COMPILE_OPTIONS...]] — parse the given file. 🧠
  • reset-unsaved FILE — reset FILE, its content is up to date. fresh start, no baggage. 🌸
  • set-debug [on|off] — enable or disable verbose logging. toggle girlie. 🔥
  • set-unsaved FILE UNSAVED-CONTENT-FILE — tell irony-server that UNSAVED-CONTENT-FILE contains the effective content of FILE. keeping it in the loop, respectfully. 💜

ok be honest, you skimmed the middle. go back and read the --interactive one, it's lowkey important. 💖
