eclim does a lint upon every :w 
you instantly get marks to errors. 
it pretty much does all the error hiliting that eclipse does too.
its basically just a different frontend to eclipse.

eclipse is running inside a nailgun server and vim communicates with
it via nailgun invocations.

it will probably work similarly if you use eclipse cdt.
but i prefer to have a real buildsystem with C++
and then eclipse doesnt know about your c files.
