You could use your library to build a replacement for ctags (ctags.sf.net).
ctags supports over 40 languages and uses regexes to do so. ctags hardly copes with overloading. The user is supposed to choose among overloads.
A compiler based tool should be able to do a lot better. There is a need for such an open source tool in the unix world.
Yes, absolutely! To this end, Clang provides a simplified C API with detailed cross-referencing information of the form needed for this task, mapping between the source code (file/line/column) and the associated AST (expressions, statements, declarations, types). We can map the "f" in "f(x)" back to the function selected by overload resolution, or map the "+" in "x + y" to the overloaded operator it uses. Building something ctags-like from that API should be easy. The Clang C API is documented here: http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/group__CINDEX.html On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 12:38 AM, Ryo IGARASHI <rigarash@gmail.com> wrote:
FYI, there is an GCCSense project(http://cx4a.org/software/gccsense/) to use with emacs/vim for translation unit aware code completion.
Clang provides code completion through the C API: http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/group__CINDEX__CODE__COMPLET.html and via the command line. Integration with vim/Emacs should be simple; I hacked up the first Emacs mode for it in a few hours. On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 8:09 PM, Gottlob Frege <gottlobfrege@gmail.com> wrote:
Or red underline, like a spell checker. And blue underline like MS Word for "grammar" (syntax) errors. You get the idea. Might as well do real spell checking (against dictionary and code identifiers) in the comments as well...
It turns out that spell-checking is also great for error recovery: http://blog.llvm.org/2010/04/amazing-feats-of-clang-error-recovery.html#spel... - Doug
