Hi, I currently use VIM with tons of plugins. I think the plugin youcompleteme handles auto-complete in vim to a certain extent and i find it useful. I also use other plugins like Nerdtree for easier navigation, fugitive vim for git integration . Of course, i also use CTAGS and CSCOPE . Thanks and regards, Vignesh Radhakrishnan On Mon, Nov 24, 2014 at 9:30 PM, Austin S Hemmelgarn <ahferroin7@gmail.com> wrote:

(I was asked to research this topic to help students. So please ignore this topic if all you want to say is that it is OK to code in editor without autocompletion and any other integration, and that there's LXR website. We all know that.)
Dear kernel developers, if you have a minute, please share - what's your configuration for editor integration with sources tree? (the opposite is "just using any editor") - which IDE/editor handiness options except autocompletion are possible to obtain while developing kernel code, and which options do you use?
If you don't use any special configuration, feel free not to reply.
Thanks!
Personally, I use vi/vim with ctags most of the time, and occasionally just use grep and find directly. I generally don't use any auto-completion other than automatic indentation (I have a tendency to spend more time fighting with auto-completion than writing code when I actually try to use it). In general, I would highly recommend not using an IDE for working on kernel code unless you can setup the auto-formatting to be compliant with the coding standards.
