| [cdt-dev] PDOM Update |
|
Hey gang, I’d thought I give an update on my PDOM feature work
for CDT 3.1. I am currently putting together a document on the wiki that
describes the architecture of the PDOM and how it fits into the CDT. I’ve been pretty happy with the progress of the PDOM at
this point. I am now pretty confident that we’ll be able to replace the
old indexers with it. As part of that, I will also need to replace the search
engine (which was heavily tied to the data format of the old index). I have
begun writing this new engine (PDOMSearchQuery and friends) and will start
enabling it after we’ve wrapped up Callisto M5. Also, the type cache that was used to speed up the look up
of types in the index (e.g. for Open Type) is also no longer necessary and will
also be removed. This means a lot of churn in the core but I will do my best
to make sure the transition is smooth. If anyone wants to help with this effort
please let me know and I’m sure I can find something for you to do ;-). Cheers, Eclipse CDT Project Lead, http://cdtdoug.blogspot.com |
