Code completion does not parse/move through an entire implentation file
nore:
Hi there, I have been experiencing some issues with the Code completion plug-in in the recent weeks. It seems that in one of my implementation files only the constructor is recognized when using CTRL + PgUp/CTRL + PgDn. All other implementation files' and header files' functions can be traversed through using these keys, but I can't seem to discover a reason as to why the implementation file in question cannot be traversed through. I have tried disabling and enabling the plug-in as well as setting the parser to workspace-wide rather than project-wide. I have even tried disabling Smart Sense (what does this do?). If anyone has had a similar problem as this, I would appreciate a point towards solving it!
Thank you,

Hi, thank you for your help. I am on Microsoft Windows 11 and I am using code::blocks svn 13231. I see that the nightly build has been updated--could this be a cause of the issue? I am experiencing the non-parsing issue in a couple implementation files.
For example, in my program I am able to move through functions using CTRL + PgUp and CTRL + PgDn in "MapTileSelect.cpp" and "MapTile.cpp" but not within "MainFrame.cpp" or "VisualGrid.cpp". All headers can be traversed through using Code completion.
EDIT: Updating to svn 13311 did not resolve the issues.
Pecan:
When you say that you're using code completion plugin do you mean the older plugin named "code completion" or the newer code completion plugin called "Clangd_client" plugin?
If you're using the older, try using the newer clangd_client plugin.
See https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/CB_Clangd_Client
for directions.
This requires you to install a Clangd.exe process. It's explained in the wiki. I'd suggest using the section entitled " MSYS2 Compiler - MinGW64". For me, I just installed the whole Msys2/Mingw64 system, then told it to install clangd.
It did all the work installing dependencies for me.
You'll be happy you did. Msys2/Mingw64 is so useful for so many other windows tools and libs.
Once clangd.exe is installed, go to MainMenu>plugins>Manager plugins. Disable "Code completion" and enable Clangd_client. then restart CodeBlocks. You'll get a message saying you need to tell Clangd client plugin where clangd.exe is. It'll be in the Mingw64/bin/ folder.
If you're already using the newer clangd plugin, would you also upload the .h files so I can try to re-create the problem you described.
The old Code completion plugin is very old and has problems with code using C++11 or higher. Clangd is now used in most modern IDE(s).
Let me know how you progress...
Regards

Ah, that is such a shame as it was working fine only some weeks ago. I do not mind using a newer plug-in; however I am concerned that I do not have a way to install a plug-in without reinstalling code::blocks, no? Is there a way to install this "Clangd" plug-in without a full reinstall?
EDIT: As it turns out the nightly build that I have already includes the Clangd_client plugin. I only need to install the .exe so I may use it.
