A Vim-based integrated development environment for C/C++ that layers Clang-powered code intelligence over the editor via a client-server architecture. It offers semantic navigation, syntax highlighting, diagnostics, indexing, and completion, but all development has moved to the successor cxxd/cxxd-vim projects.

Use cases

• turn vim into a full c/c++ ide
• go-to-definition and find-all-references for c++ code in vim
• clang-based autocomplete and type deduction while editing c++
• semantic syntax highlighting for c/c++ source files
• run clang-tidy diagnostics and fixits inside the editor
• index a large c++ codebase for fast symbol lookup

When to choose

• you live in the terminal and want IDE-grade C/C++ features without a heavyweight GUI IDE
• you want Clang-based semantic understanding (navigation, diagnostics, indexing) inside Vim
• you maintain an existing Vim setup that already depends on Yavide

When to avoid

• you are starting a new setup today - use the successor cxxd-vim or an LSP-based plugin like clangd instead
• you need a GUI IDE with visual debugging and refactoring tools
• you expect ongoing updates, since this repository is no longer developed
