Compiling C in Neovim

In all note, C + Neovim is probably not my territory so 😔 Good Luck finding a solution though

[WarpWing]

Could I get a log file? or some sort of screenshot showcasing a error?
Please also reference this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2627886/how-do-i-run-a-c-program-from-vim

The only error given is: E116: Invalid arguments for function ToggleRun
the function ToggleRun is shown below

function! ToggleRun(cmd)
if empty(bufname(a:cmd))
call CreateCenteredFloatingWindow()
call termopen(a:cmd)
else
bwipeout!
endif
endfunction

Could you try running a basic C program to see if it's a problem with neovim or just syntax (or basically anything wrong with language)

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}

Just try to compile that and see how that works. We should figure out if this is a Neovim problem or a C syntax error (language-level) problem

I have a Hello World program, and I can compile and run it manually

gcc hello.c -o hello && ./hello

but when I try to use the command outlined before, that's when it becomes an issue, I have isolated the problem to the following line:

autocmd filetype c nnoremap C :w :call ToggleRun('gcc '. @% . ' -o ' . @%< ' && ./' . @%<)

edit: it will be to do with the way I am concatenating and grabbing file names from neovim.

Ill make a testing branch so you can try it for yourself, the bind is C >> leader = space.

Nah I like vim because of all this stuff, but running gcc manually each time is kinda annoying while I am learning C

You could probably just use VSCode though

I have got it a lot closer, I can get it to compile correctly but for some reason I cant get it to run (produces this error)

"hello.c" 8L, 83C written
:!gcc hello.c -o hello | :call ToggleRun('./hello')
zsh:1: unknown file attribute: h

shell returned 1

Fixed it :)

You should probably assign the right labels :)
