[CEDET-devel] Updates to semantic-complete-self-insert, and running external programs

[Eric M. L. <er...@si...>]

Hi all,

  A question Nick had about semantic-complete-self-insert got me looking
to see if I could make my suggested patch more permanent.  As a result I
checked in some changes to this function.

  If you use semantic-complete-self-insert, please try out the CVS
version and let me know how it goes.   It will not start up a full
reparse and recalculate the environment, but with exit-on-input enabled,
so it will cancel if you are typing quickly.

  I also found it wouldn't self-insert if you were already in a
completion environment, so I fixed that up too.

  I also updated the interfaces to all the external programs, such as
GNU Global, idutils, or ctags.  The mechanism used to query the program
to make sure it is up-to-date enough is now more robust to programs
which might not exist.  For exuberent ctags I also added a list of
possible names, and try to detect homonym programs to provide more
useful error messages.

Enjoy
Eric
