Re[1]: [cedet-semantic] Senator extensions

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

Hi,

  The senator functions for jump & completion use the tokens from the
  local buffer for several reasons.

1) That is what was available at the time
2) It is fast
3) Finding tokens from the database results in some confusion since
   the buffers are not necessarily in memory, and extra work needs to
   be done to overcome that.

  On the flip side, some work toward what you want has been done.
  For example:

* Semanticdb search functions have built in knowledge of projects
  hierarchies.  Extending this to include explicit libraries from the
  system would not be hard.
* Semantic and semanticdb search routines can search include files
  based on include/import statements found in the source files.
* The semantic-analyze package already searches and provides a
  comprehensive list of completions based on type information from
  semanticdb.

  The missing pieces are:

* Semanticdb searching of OS level libraries
* A batch script for building semantic.cache.
* Use interface on semantic-analyze
* A version of completing read for whole-database completion.  Using
  the existing APIs for completion would result in far too much
  overhead.
