C++ placeholders are not corretly selected

[Miszo97]

While trying to jump to a placeholder it selects incorrect area so I can't full fill parameter correctly.

Vim: MacVim 8.0.1420 Version: ca0dd99 Vimrc: https://pastebin.com/4bPcD4v4 OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3

No additional .clang_complete file provided. Please let me know if you need further information.

Can you please comment out all plugins exclude completor to check whether the problem still exists?

[Miszo97]

@maralla Unfortunately, after disabling other plugins the problem still appears.

I noticed that the selections are as if moved exactly 7 times to the left in each case regardless of placeholder's length.

Furthermore, if I don't provide a name of a file from a terminal and just moved to the file by jumping <c-o>, the mapping for jumping to placeholders don't work.

The commit 58075b44b95d8c97a02ef8cc7e9af9a2f39c55db fixed the problem. Please update.

[maralla]

The mapping for jumping to placeholders is currently lazily loaded, so jumping only happens after the first completion and the <buffer> part should be removed.

After updating, still has the same problems as @Miszo97

@BruceChen7 hm... for me this update worked. But I encountered others problems. Very often when I try list completion using dot like instance. It doesn't list anything although there is an appropriate macro #include<> or list bunch of a completions not related to class's functions.

You can add extra clang options to a file named .clang or .clang_complete as an argument config file located at project root or the parent directories. If the include files is not at the directory same as the file you are editing you should add the include path to the config file.

I had the same problem. Disabling the other plugins the problem continues.
