LanguageClient-neovim + clangd support

[theimpostor]

With autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim#954 now merged, what remains for LanguageClient-neovim + clangd support? Using neovim and this plugin, highlighting doesn't appear to work out of the box. Is there more configuration required?

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

Hi, support for clangd (and other servers supported the proposed standard) is done entirely in LanguageClient-neovim, you don't need vim-lsp-cxx-highlight.

I realized I forgot to update the documentation for LanguageClient-neovim after autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim#954 got merged. But for reference I currently have the following configuration for clangd semantic highlighting:

let g:LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps['cpp'] = {
            \ 'entity.name.namespace.cpp': 'CppNameSpace',
            \ 'variable.other.field.cpp': 'CppMemberVariable',
            \ 'variable.other.enummember.cpp': 'EnumConstant',
            \ 'entity.name.function..*.cpp': 'Function',
            \ 'entity.name.type..*.cpp': 'Type',
            \ }

hi! CppNamespace ctermfg=Yellow guifg=#BBBB00 cterm=none gui=none
hi! CppMemberVariable ctermfg=White guifg=White

This is a fairly minimal configuration but should provide similar highlighting to what vim-lsp-cxx-highlight provides currently. Also note that clangd 10 and 11 provide more scopes than 9 such as ones for preprocessor (macros and skipped regions) which aren't in this configuration.

OK that's great to hear, and thanks for the sample configs. I will close this issue.
