RE: [cdt-core-dev] CDT Symbol Table implementation`

As you told me that there is a .index file which is stored in workspace\.metadata\.plugins\ , is this file maintaining just an index of identifiers for searching and refactoring purpose or does it also play a part in content assist and text tool tip.Where i can find the details on the format of the file, if there is any specific.

And can you guide me to any document that explains how the ast has been created in the cdt. Actually I may be able to understand that studying the code but this is one of the things I hate most in life, reading existing code (undocumented and uncommented if i may add). One thing is troubling me that why isn't there a search option in the mailing lists or newsgroups?

The parser can do either a QUICK or COMPLETE parse. The main difference is that the quick parse does not have to follow all of the include paths. When you type a keystroke or more, a quick parse will be kicked off. This can be used to rapidly point out errors as you type for that nice incremental feel. At other times, such as when you save a file that had changed, a complete parse will happen which rebuilds the symbol index. The editor does have the concept of regions of text, but in my small test cases i only see parsing starting from the beginning of the file i am editing.
