vim-cpplint

vim-cpplint is a Vim plugin that runs the currently open file through cpplint.py, a static syntax and style checker for C++ source code.

Installation

Use vim-pathogen if you're not using it already. Then, simply put the contents of this repository in your ~/.vim/bundle directory.

Usage

  1. Open a C++ file
  2. Press <F7> to run cpplint.py on it

It shows the errors inside a quickfix window, which will allow your to quickly jump to the error locations by simply pressing [Enter].

Customization

If you don't want to use the <F7> key for cpplint-checking, simply remap it to another key. It autodetects whether it has been remapped and won't register the <F7> key if so. For example, to remap it to <F3> instead, use:

autocmd FileType cpp map <buffer> <F3> :call Cpplint()<CR>

Tips

A tip might be to run the cpplint.py check every time you write a C++ file, to enable this, add the following line to your .vimrc file (thanks Godefroid!):

autocmd BufWritePost *.h,*.cpp call Cpplint()
