Xcode snippets are not being used in autocomplete

I have bolded important information to make this easier to read.

I just updated to Xcode 7.3 yesterday and have tried all day to fix my issue. For class we are programming in C and use SVN to modify all of our files to create our project. I was using Xcode 7.2 to do all of the previous assignments.

My current routine is that I do not create new projects for our assignments, I just open the *.c files with Xcode. Where my problem comes up is that when I start typing for instance a "For loop" in the previous version I get this for autocomplete:

for (initialize; condition; reinitialize){
     statements
}

where I could tab across and edit the place holders with variables/values that I would use in the loop. Now in Xcode 7.3 when I type for all autocomplete shows me is just this with no brackets or parenthesis.

If I drag the snippets to the middle of my code it appears, but that is time consuming and frankly a pain. I have tried deleting derived data, but seeing as I don't create a new project for each assignment I don't think this helps me. I have also tried deleting the cache file and reinstalling the old 7.2 Xcode to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

I found my solution to why it is not working. In the .c file I was currently working on, the functions where defined like this:

int main()
// comments
{
Return
}

And when I went to type for in it would not register it as a function, but if I changed where the bracket is to this:

int main(){
// comments
Return
}

I get code completion like I used to. I am not sure why this is an issue because I swear it was working before.

Hit the Tab or Enter key when you see 'for' I think. It auto fills the rest of the stuff for me at least at which point you can Tab more.

EDIT: Don't hit Space key after typing 'for', then the autocomplete suggestions go away. Looks like this in 7.3 (slightly diff. param names than yours).

for (initialization; condition; increment) {
    statements
}
