That sounds very reasonable. At least that'll be a hint to a user experiencing the error message. Thanks. -- Gard

For me it was going to install another 300+ MB of disk space. That would be OK if most people were installing company for C++ development, but I guess that's not really the case. We could certainly add a suggests (for what little that is worth) or perhaps disable company-clang by default. d

I'm seeing the same error on a different machine with default emacs settings, where I freshly installed emacs and elpa-company, and where the ~/.emacs file is empty. Note that I see the error when starting company-mode in a buffer that's in c++-mode. If the buffer is in for example fundamental-mode, I can start company-mode without problems. -- Gard

Can you try with a more minimal init file? I don't have clang installed, and I don't see that failure. d
