Description Jed Brown 2010-06-24 17:11:41 UTC
Some impressive code-completion features have been implemented as part of GCCSense, providing accurate editor-agnostic code completion.

This required some GCC modifications, and thus requires a customized compiler.  It would be very useful if these modifications were merged upstream, or could at least be implemented as a plugin.  Repository here:

Nice! But to get anything merged to GCC you need first a copyright assignment. Otherwise, we cannot even look at your code.

For implementing this as a plugin, you do not need anything from the GCC project (do you?). So there is no need to open a PR.

Thanks, I have notified the author.
Comment 3 Andrew Pinski 2010-06-28 00:49:14 UTC
There is nothing we can do on this side except what we have already suggested; that is contact the writer of the code modification to change them/submit them.
