I have a problem with auto-complete package in Emacs. Currently I have up and running cedet with proper autocompletion, but auto-complete package has some weird behaviour. It doesn't use semantic's (senator's?) database until I explicitly visit include file and make "C-u M-x bovinate". Then I can return to the source file and auto-complete's completion list will look exactly as the semantic's one.
Another point is if I edit my source file, for example, in c++-mode and try to "bovinate" header in c-mode, auto-complete won't get any additional points in it's completion list.
Any ideas how to get auto-complete work automatically?
My .emacs file is (Major parts of it were taken from Alex Ott's article)
(load "~/.emacs.d/cedet/cedet-devel-load.el")
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-semanticdb-minor-mode)
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-cedet-m3-minor-mode)
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-semantic-mru-bookmark-mode)

(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)
(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "/home/zvord/.emacs.d/ac-dict")
(define-key ac-mode-map [(meta return)] 'auto-complete)
(defun my-cedet-hook ()
(add-to-list 'ac-sources 'ac-source-semantic))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-cedet-hook)
From all I've read this should be enough to get auto-complete work, but it isn't.
Try to change:
(defun my-cedet-hook () (add-to-list 'ac-sources 'ac-source-semantic))
into:
(defun my-cedet-hook () (add-to-list 'ac-sources 'ac-source-semantic-raw))
It should work.
