    Project mention: C Macro Reflection in Zig – Zig Has Better C Interop Than C Itself | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-30

    > […] I've had a lot of issues getting editor integration to work correctly. I've installed the VSCode extension but I don't seem to be getting autocomplete etc. […]

    If you use ZLS [0], make sure you’re always using the right version for the Zig version you have installed on your machine. In my experience, that fixes 90% of editor issues I’ve encountered using Zig (I don’t use Visual Studio Code though, so it’s possible your editor issues are related to the editor itself).
