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.
Use vim-pathogen if you're not using
it already. Then, simply put the contents of this repository in your
~/.vim/bundle directory.
- Open a C++ file
- Press
<F7>to runcpplint.pyon it
It shows the errors inside a quickfix window, which will allow your to quickly jump to the error locations by simply pressing [Enter].
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>
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()
