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.
