I had investigated this tool briefly last time it came up.  They have
taken their tool, and implemented the things we'd like to do.  Chances
are their tool could be hooked into the semantic framework but I
haven't had time to investigate.

Well .. my problem may really be not knowing what can actually be done
by semantic/ECB at this point. I came to it expect the same basic level
of functionality. Didn't see anything in the docs that would explicitely
say otherwise .. so I assumed it was not documented, whereas it's
actually not possible?

I think I eventually want my wiki page to list topics, and cover if they
can be done with semantic/ECB, or if you need to use other tools for
that, or if there is currently no efficient solution.

Harmonia looks very promising indeed. The current release doesn't
support C++ however, so I'm on a wait and see till C++ is there to try
it out.

I use ebrowse (which comes with Emacs) to generate a Tags-DB for all my 
source files, and use its functionality to jump to method 
definitions/declarations.  Ebrowse is C++ only, but does its job very 
well.  It parses several hundred source files per second, and works also 
on quite big projects.  I use it in a project consisting of 3500+ files 
in 500+ directories.

If you cannot get ebrowse up and running, I will post some more details.

Have fun,
Markus

What would be neat is if cedet backends were implemented for tools
like Ebrowse. Then one would have a consistent emacs interface to use
for all code.

For instance Ocaml has a feature to compile so as to create
annotiation files that can be used for finding the type at point in
emacs tuareg mode. It would be neat if this also was made into a cedet
backend.

Also it would be nice if cedet was clever enough to use for instance
ebrowse to find tags when the source file hasnt been touched, and its
own wisent parser otherwise.

Hi,

  The semantic parser and the semanticdb storage system were both
designed so they could be replaced.  If you have your own parser, all
you need to do is write a transformation function to convert one data
type into semantic tags.

  If you have your own tag table, you can write a semanticdb object
and you just need to implement a small number of search routines, plus
something to convert the result into a semantic tag.

  In both cases there are examples for doing this.  As Klaus said,
someone just needs to take the time to do it.  I had looked into the
EBrowse structure, hoping to use the ebrowse lisp code, and I was
befuddled by what it was trying to do.  I have half of this system
written and it needs someone to take it the rest of the way and
implement the ebrowse piece into the semanticdb skeleton.

  The 'clever' part of knowing when to use which database is already
in the system, and used with Emacs Lisp (which has a working alternate
semanticdb back end.)

Maybe ECB should define a general parse-tag-structure and a general
parse-info-interface. Then there can be several implementations/adapters
to parse-info-suppliers like:
- semantic (already existing)
- harmonia (has to be written)
- ebrowse (has to be written)
- etags/imenu (already existing)
Each of these adapters has to transform ist propriatary tag-structure =
into
The ECB-tag-structure so ECB can use and display the informations...

As a starting point i would define the current semantic tag as =
ECB-tag-structure
(maybe a litte bit more generalized or not)....

Yes, sounds like a good idea the only one which lacks is the time to =
implement it ;-)

Well, we will see.....=20

Klaus
