Re: [cdt-dev] Caching of AST units
|
The reason why I need the AST is that I deal a lot with macro(s). It
looks like index does not allow this. Most of the problems I had
encountered were posted here.
I'm afraid I cannot wait for indexer support due to my project timeframe.
BTW, I'm considering the JCS as a cache implementation
(http://jakarta.apache.org/jcs/index.html). I suppose I will be able
to limit the memory consumed by cached units (at least the number of
units in the cache).
