RE: [cdt-dev] Major PDOM changes in HEAD

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Actually, the PDOM was always in the .metadata directory. Now, instead of
having one database per project, there is only one database per workspace.

And because the PDOM is memory mapped into the Eclipse process, it has to be
local. Right now I'm having enough trouble squeezing reasonable performance
out of a strictly local architecture. I have no idea how to properly do
remote projects. For that, I'll need some help :).

Doug,

I know this is a bit left of base, bit I wonder if this change is  
going to make support for remote projects more difficult? I had  
imagined that if the PDOM database was stored in the project  
directory then it should be able to be generated on the remote  
machine, but still be visible to Eclipse running on the local  
machine. If the database is stored at the workspace level then I  
don't think this approach will work any more (unless the whole  
workspace is remote.)

Just a thought.

Greg
