Typing "cc <TAB>" at the bash prompt does not give any hint.
The problem lies in the following piece of /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/cc:
complete -F _gcc gcc g++ g77 gcj gpc &&{
cc --version 2>/dev/null | grep -q GCC && complete -F _gcc cc || :
c++ --version 2>/dev/null | grep -q GCC && complete -F _gcc c++ || :
}
"cc/gcc/c++/g++ --version" do not print GCC, therefore the completion for cc/c++ is never installed.
I suggest to use this check instead:
[[ "$(readlink -f /usr/bin/cc)" == "$(readlink -f /usr/bin/gcc)" ]]
However a problem still remains: when cc is not GCC, there is no completion. Therefore
|| :
should be replaced with
|| complete -F _minimal cc
