Build the descriptions index differently [message #987850]

Hi!

This is somewhat of a foggy idea, but would it be possible to build the descriptions index for a code base offline and without parsing the files? We already have an index with all the visible objects and it probably is faster to use it instead of opening and parsing all source.

This would be useful for indexing libraries, where I am not interested in their internals but only the APIs.

best regards,
Vlad

I'd bind a customized IGlobalScopeProvider that loads and provides these
(fixed) IResourceDescriptions. There is an EMF implementation of the
index data model you can use to serialize.
