    After upgrading to 4.7.0, autocomplete practically doesn't work at all (there's a bunch of issues written to that effect).
    Is it possible to switch back to the old code model for autocomplete as a temporary fix? While the old model had its weaknesses, particularly with templates and c++11/14 features, it's better than nothing.

      Yeah, just disable Clang Code Model in Help > Plugins...

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.

        No way to do this just for autocomplete? Because the old code model is pretty much useless for syntax highlighting by now.

          AFAIK, no.

          [Clang] autocomplete practically doesn't work at all

          Can you elaborate? I'd say, while the Clang model has its weaknesses, it works pretty good. Maybe a bit slow sometimes...

            My biggest joykiller right now is QTCREATORBUG-20857. Fortunately, I found some partial workarounds in the meantime.

              Did you check out already under "Tools"->"Options"->"{}C++" and tab "Code model". There are a couple of different settings possible.

              Just came across this.

              Vote the answer(s) that helped you to solve your issue(s)

                Thanks for pointing that out.
                I don't think these settings are related to the autocomplete behavior.
