Features: Autocompletion – cuwire – Better microcontroller IDE. Available for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Autocompletion

Arduino IDE will get code completion and error check using eclipse's CDT.

libclang

I decided to use libclang for AST.

Here some links to fix various problems I've found so far.

I use libclang without AVR support because I don't need an error messages at this time, only source tokenizer.

Current status

Sometimes in future this part will go to the separate project. No reason to create C/C++ project environment to compile only Arduinos.

I created test environment using node-libclang, processed ino file and Arduino headers. To make it work, I need to add dll/so/dylib to library search path.

Code below produce some understandable and good looking output, but at this time external function prototypes from *.h not found in output.
