Re: [cedet-semantic] Semantic Speedbar Analysis Recursion Problem with stdio.h

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

Hi Tomasz,

I opted to go with the fix I proposed.  I also added a short-cut in 
semantic-tag-similar-p in case the tags are eq so no performance will be 
lost.

I was not ultimately able to reproduce the problem you described.  If 
the issue is as hairy as you describe, it may not ultimately be worth 
trying to figure out the problem with the metatype search.

What would be worthwhile is some sort of internal sanity check that 
Semantic can run against itself at idle time.  Thus, if you figure out 
what went wrong, we might rig up a check that spots the failure, and 
does a full reset of the offending files, thus fixing the problem more 
permanently.

Thanks
Eric
