Hey
gang,
We had a quick indexer call
yesterday. Unfortunately only Bala and Andrew from Symbian and Dave D from
Wind River were able to attend. We’ll have
another call in a couple of weeks. Please let me know if you want to
attend.
Symbian will be working on
off-line indexing. Their focus will be on being able to build index for SDK’s
such as Symbian’s OS header files, and something I’d like to use for QNX’s
Neutrino headers as well. I’m sure others will find this useful as well as for
cygwin and Linux headers. It’ll be interesting to see if we can use it for
large projects as well that take into account file changes after the index is
built off-line.
There are a number of things to
consider, e.g. composite indexes versus importing external indexes, as well as
how to build the index offline and share it with others, including file path
changes. They will start working on a proposal and will be creating a bug
report to share their ideas and receive feedback and
discussions.
