How does this compare to vanilla company completion?

Hello, I'm a potential user of company-irony, except I can't tell what it does that company-mode does not. As far as I know, company-mode can also do async completion of C/C++/Obj-C.

It would be great if you could add a blurb in your README explaining this distinction.

This is server-client mode I believe. It has a irony server as a process in your system. It is async completion. From the user experience, it is much faster...

Also Irony has integration with build systems, like cmake, so it gets the same include paths and #defines that are used in the real build
