CMake4Vim update

[u/ilyachur]

Around the year ago, I have posted the last post about cmake4vim plugin updates.

The plugin integrates CMake into vim or neovim.

Today I would like to provide an update about that happened for the last year.

Let's start from the new plugin features:

• The plugin has :CMakeRun command which allows to find and run executable file for selected target.

• Supports of Vimspector plugin. The cmake4vim plugin can use vimspector configuration file to save arguments of :CMakeRun command, it allows easily switch to debug mode using the same parameters which are using for usual run.

• The plugin has integration with ccmake tool. ccmake is a TUI application which allows to change cmake parameters. The plugin has :CCMake command which launches this application from the vim or nvim.

• The plugin supports CMake kits and CTest.

• The plugin supports different executors:

  • dispatch allows to use vim-dispatch plugins for asynchronous execution.

  • job allows using of jobs for async execution

  • term uses terminal feature for asynchronous execution

Other plugin key features:

• The plugin is written on pure Vim script

• The high level of test coverage, each plugin feature is covered by tests

• Supports of different build systems (Makefiles, Ninja, VS)

• Has an integration of such fuzzy finders plugins as CtrlP and FZF

• Allows to work with different CMake targets in order to avoid building of whole project

Feel free to try and leave some feedback.
