Re: [cdt-dev] Hacking on Content Assist

[John Camelon <jcamelon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

Speed - Each Content Assist does a parse
of the file (including header files).  Since the current parser architecture
does not support an incremental parse, and AST's are not reusable after
the parse, the performance of content assist is tied to the # of files
included.  

Correctness - The parser has a few bugs
in it.  Also, if the project is not set up properly (w/include paths,
discovered macros, etc.) the parser does the best it can but sometimes
cannot come up with much.  Also, language variants other than GNU
can cause problems for the parser.  

Hope this helps
