[CEDET-devel] Please test Emacs trunk

[David E. <de...@ra...>]

I have finally managed to get a huge update to the CEDET version that
ships with Emacs. In fact, the CEDET upstream at Sourceforge and the
version in Emacs are now pretty much in sync, with the notable exception
of the following packages, which are not in Emacs yet: Android support,
Arduino support, clang completions, javascript-mozrepl engine, Fortran
90 parser, Cogre, exuberant ctags parser, and probably some other things
I'm currently missing. The reason for this is that I first wanted to
restrict the update to the already existing files in Emacs, before
introducing a bunch of new features which are often not well tested.

Emacs is in a feature freeze for the 24.3 release and it would be great
if adventurous people could compile the current Emacs from bzr, give its
built-in CEDET a spin and report any problems they are seeing, so that
we can fix them before the release. Please note that the CEDET version
in Emacs proper only supports the 'new setup style', meaning that you
cannot use the 'canned configurations' like
`semantic-load-enable-code-helpers'.  Instead, you must use change
`semantic-default-submodes' like this:

(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-semantic-idle-summary-mode t)
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-semantic-idle-completions-mode t)

and then simply enable Semantic and EDE:

;; Enable Semantic
(semantic-mode 1)
;; Enable EDE (Project Management) features
(global-ede-mode 1)
