error while compiling: Error parsing translation unit

This shows up only on Windows, anytime I save the file or activate the current buffer. I’ve tried it on a running Linux system and it works fine.

INFO:EasyClangComplete.plugin.view_config: init completer based on libclang

Ok, so the reason is that your flags are wrong. Consider this line.

DEBUG:EasyClangComplete.plugin.completion.lib_complete: clang flags are: ['-c', '-fsyntax-only', '-x', 'c++', '-std=c++11', 'C:\\TDM-GCC-64\\lib\\gcc\\x86_64-w64-mingw32\\5.1.0\\include', 'C:\\TDM-GCC-64\\lib\\gcc\\x86_64-w64-mingw32\\5.1.0\\include\\C++', 'C:\\Program Files\\LLVM\\lib\\clang\\3.9.0\\include', '-IC:\\Users\\Satyajith\\Documents\\github\\algorithms\\sorting', '-IC:\\Users\\Satyajith\\Documents\\github\\algorithms']

There is a number of includes that have to start with -I like the last two flags, but start with C:\\. Change them to -IC:\\ and the problem should be gone.

But I agree, that the error message could be better. I will target this as soon as I have time.

Don’t worry. Good software should be able to tell you there is something wrong BEFORE you encounter a cryptic error. I am going to target the usability at some point soon probably. I want this plugin to be as failsafe as possible.
