[CEDET-devel] semanticdb-find speed improvement, C++ parsing fixes.

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

Greetings, 

I was trying out the ebrowse stuff today on some big C++ code, and
found a potential recursion bug in the semanticdb-find routines while
determining the header list to use.  After a bit of snooping, I solved
this problem, and it turned out to also be a huge win in overall speed
for searching in C++ code that does not exhibit the recursive
behavior.  A worthwhile find!

In addition, with the advent of the SPP code (from a week or so ago) I
have checked in the corresponding C/C++ parser that uses the new macro
lexical analyzer.  In the test directory, you can find a test file for
examining the behavior.  If other languages need a lexical
preprocessor, SPP will likely provide what you need.

The preprocessor is mostly useful for ifdef or ifndef removal of
blocks of code, though a few simple replacement features also work.
You can use the global C++ symbol table to cause semantic to ignore
nearly any arbitrary symbol you like.  Cool!

Anyway, all this is now in CVS.  Give it a try!

I still have more of Joakim's code to integrate.  Plenty left to do.

Enjoy
Eric
