I’ve changed the little comment
after the indexer names. It’s now
-
Full
Indexer (slow but accurate)
-
Fast
Indexer (faster but less accurate)
I have had requests to keep the full
indexer around due to its better accuracy so am hesitant to call it “Legacy”.
But I would like a better name than “Fast” so if anyone has suggestions…
I’m also wandering what to call the
indexer that runs in ctags mode (i.e ignores all include statements all
together), but that probably won’t show up until 4.0 or maybe 3.1.1 and
then only if people are having a hard time with the “Fast” indexer.
BTW. The default indexer is the Null one,
i.e. no indexing at all. I have put a check box in the Indexer preference page
that will allow you to change all the projects in your workspace to the
selected default. That should make it easier to turn things on.

It also makes sense to rename Fast C/C++ Indexer to
just C/C++ Indexer and Full C/C++ Indexer to Legacy C/C++ Indexer, or some
other bad name that would discourage its use.
