# MQL5
MQL5 core and standard library implemented in proper C++ for use with language
servers and modern editors.
## Usage
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.
```bash
git submodule add https://github.com/mskelton/mql5
```
### Configuring clang
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.
```yaml
CompileFlags:
Add: -ferror-limit=0
```
### Updating type definitions
To update type definitions if there are new changes, simply run the following
command to update the submodule.
```bash
git submodule update --remote mql5
```
