Hello,
I hope vim can run automatically a completion after a '.', '->' or
'::' when I write c++ program. I know omnicppcomplete plugin can do
this job. But omnicppcomplete needs tag database. So if I want
omnicppcomplete to tell me members of a class, I have to keep
updating the tag database even though I only make a little change.
So is there other ways to do the completion? Or is there some way to
let omnicppcomplete update the tag database automatically?

The tagfile is created or updated by running (for instance) the
Exuberant Ctags program. You can run it from a vim script or from the
Vim command-line (using the ":!" command, q.v.); but if you run it
every time you want to use omnicompletion, the time necessary for the
update could be unbearable if your program has a large number of
modules, like for instance the Vim source.
If the tagfile finds the tags by searching for them (as with the Vim
helptags) rather than by going to a fixed line, then changes which add
or remove program lines (but not tag definitions) will probably not
require regenerating the tagfile.

Yes, so are there any other good ways?
For example, is there a way to only update tags in some file which is
just modified and saved?
Or what omnicppcomplete does is senseless for code completion.
