Re: Use Case survey for C developers power tools plugin

Hello,
Is there a more in-depth list of planned features available somewhere?
I still haven't found a C-plugin that really fits me. The current ones
always seem too heavy and sluggish or just don't work in every case so I
ended up using basic ctags, ctrl-p and cscope (outside of vim). Not to
mention it's not always possible for me to install clang, depending on
the working place.

When working on a large code base the existing code completion schemes
end up being usually pretty slow... even vim's basic ctrl+p/o can get a
bit overburdened.

It'd be nice if you could define your own set of static rule checks so
that the editor would highlight where those are amiss instead of having
to run a third party checker... maybe not a full fledged analyzer as
that seems quite taxing, but some basic parsing might be nice.

I'd like to follow your progress if possible!
