GCC could help CodeCompletion in future
« on: April 18, 2008, 11:34:55 pm »
Looks like all the parsing, symbol storage etc. may not be needed anymore. Tom Tromey has started to work on turning GCC into an Incremental Compiler - such approach will require gcc to work as a server.
One of side effect of such architecture is that gcc could also work as an information server for IDEs providing informations about code.

This does look intresting, but i notice there hasnt been an [incremenal] branch patch in several months.
WooF! WooF! - Ubuntu 8.10 & CB 5432 & GCC 4.3.2

I found this message in the gnu wiki

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/IncrementalCompiler

and I checked the svn branches. and the last update was in 2008 -05 -21 :D
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.
