[cdt-dev] New Content Assist Enabled

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

I have made some good progress with the new content assist completion 
processor and have now turned it on by default for M6. You can still go 
back to the old processor with a preference in the C/C++ -> Code Assist 
page.

One plus is that it uses the new DOM which is significantly faster if you 
are only resolving references on part of the tree as we do in content 
assist. It will also give me a chance to produce some completions that 
were difficult in the previous architecture.

I haven't hooked up the search engine and the help system yet but that 
should come quickly post M6. So full functionality isn't there yet. Also, 
there are a number of contexts where assist doesn't produce anything or 
produces too much. Please raise any bugs you may find on cdt-core or 
myself directly and I will take a look at them.

Thanks,
