- Subject: Creating C++ IntelliSense with gcc front end
Hi
I would like to write something like Visual Studio IntelliSense and I
thought to use gcc front end to help me get necessary information from
C++ files. Because I'm a newbie in gcc development I would like to ask
if it's possible. I guess the biggest problem is performance - I mean
I can get any information I want from the tree how to update tree fast
enough (I don't want to parse entire project every time I press
ctrl+space) ?
I'm looking for any advice... for example would it be good to store
somewhere entire tree, or just identifiers and then parse only changed
parts ?
