Hi,

I am working on my incremental lexer that should be run from an
incremental reconciler. The basic stuff just works, but the
synchronization is a real problem.
I never can be sure that the IDocument content is valid (that is, it
maps to the dirty region event) Is there any way to stop eclipse from
updating that content when I am lexing it?

regards

Christoph

No, and you shouldn't do this. The user should always be able to
continue typing. The reconciler automatically aborts the current run if
the document gets changed.

It is highly undesirable to disable document updates because you have some work to do. Incremental reconciliation is tricky to implement and i suggest you try and look for alternate solutions unless its completely unavoidable. The reconciliation has a progress monitor which you can use to stop doing work for previous document updates if a fresh one arrives. However when you start incremental reconciliation for the fresh document change, you should ensure that you are working on the all the unprocessed document changes till then.

A better idea is to enqueue document changes in a queue and work on it -- thread pool concept.

Hope this helps,
Ravi.
