[newcomer] Auto completion

[Brute]

Hi, I decided to learn SFML, I used gVim with youcompleteme engine for completion under linux and visual studio completion engine for development under windows (doesn't work with all libraries).

Currently on windows, what would be a good combination to make completion fully work? what setup do you guys use on windows? I don't care which IDE should I use, just want make auto completion fully work with SFML without the need to experiment too much.

For example I don't want completion stop working once I reach 5K lines of code (as usually is the case).

THANKS!

edit:
I forgot to mention...  prefering codeblocks and non-comercial solution, but if there is better solution then whatever.

What do you mean by completion? Do you mean auto complete for function names and stuff? If so, for Windows, Visual Studio Express is free and you can release commercial products with it.

Codelite is an IDE that doesn't get enough attention imo. It comes with a pretty good auto-completion engine. It works just fine on my current project (15k+ lines).
It comes with a bunch of default search paths for the engine, but, depending where you install SFML, you might have to add the path yourself. Works great for me.

And I believe for Visual Studio, the new Community Edition is now preferred over Express.

Thank you, according to your satisfaction with codelite I will definitely try it out!

Thank you for response, Visual studio is absolutely great IDE but development with 3rd party libraries is not well supported by M$ and in most cases suck very bad.

What do you mean? It works fine for everything I've used it for including SDL, SFML and Boost. It doesnt work well with GLEW though because the way that GLEW gets the OpenGL functions more or less breaks intellisense.

I'm quite curious which 3rd party you had problems with. Just like Gambit, except for GLEW, never had a problem.
