Re: [cdt-core-dev] queries with indexing/parsing with CDT

Hi Kashif,
Thanks for coming back on this one, I feel I was not clear on my
previous attempt, so let me try and straighten out some things.
Are you aware of the fact the cdt supports 2 things related to parsing
C/C++ projects:
1>> Indexing
2>> Source code referencing using F3 (Ctrl+ CLick)
I believe, for this there are predominently 2 classes:
IndexManager - indexing
OpenDeclarationsAction - for the F3 action

Our findings: we feel these 2 operations dont appear to be linked to
each other (is this correct) -
Indexing is called whenever the file is created or saved
Parsing - is called whenever the file changes...thats fair...
But that what ever be the state of the indexing (whether turned on or
off) the F3 (code referencing) works...but incorrectly (in either
case).
Incorrectly meaning: It does not support macros and it does not "like"
functions defined across file boundaries. --(thats the real problem)

We are looking to exploit this feature (code referencing) but are at
loss trying to figure out things, we know how the things are more or
less moving eg the .index file being created and the parser coming
into play...blah blah blah.... but this info is not sufficient  for us
to move quickly, can someone please provide some pointers to get going
quickly.

thanks,
Dyno
