lh-cpp Type DataBase

lh-cpp provides a database for most standard types and some semi-standard types, i.e. Boost types.

Accessing type information

lh#cpp#types#get_info(type[, default-value])

Function that returns the type information associated to type.

If no information is found for type, the default-value will be returned.

A type information is a dictionary object made of:

• "name": simplified name of the type (acts as a key to retrieve its associated information)
• "namespace": its namespace
• "type": the full type name (with template parameters)
• "includes"`: list of headers file that may define the type.
• "typename_for_header(...)" function.

See the related unit test

lh#cpp#types#get_includes(type)

Returns the list of header files that are know to define the type.

Current database status

The best way to see which types are defined is to consult the source code of autoload/lh/cpp/types.vim.
