  • In my search for auto-completion packages, I came across rtags, irony, ycmd and cquery, I've seen comments about rtags and irony not being good for large projects (although rtags can handle larger projects than irony). I've also heard that rtags wouldn't work if there are many errors and that there were some problems when the irony server was up for long. I visited ycmd's repo, and it seems to now be unmaintained: abingham/emacs-ycmd: Emacs client for ycmd, the code completion system. (github.com)
