MQL5 core and standard library implemented in proper C++ for use with language servers and modern editors.

To use the MQL5 header files, run the following command in your repository with your expert advisors. This will add this repository as a submodule so you can easily update when changes are made to type definitions.

git submodule add https://github.com/mskelton/mql5

To configure clang to recognize and use the MQL5 core types, create a compile_flags.txt file in the root of your project and add the following to it.

-Imql5/Include
--include=Core/MQL5.mqh
-std=c++11
-xc++
-Wno-write-strings

To fix the issue where some included files show a "Too many errors omitted, stopping now" error, create a .clangd file with the following.

CompileFlags:
  Add: -ferror-limit=0

To update type definitions if there are new changes, simply run the following command to update the submodule.

git submodule update --remote mql5
