Re: Indexer (was Re: [cdt-dev] CDT 3.0 new features)

Leon, 

Open Declaration (F3) does not use the
index.   This decision was done at the time to improve the performance
of the feature for C++.  Unfortunately, it costs us correctness in
C code which is structured as you have.  

The file is parsed to figure out exactly
what ASTNode we are looking at.  If the file is included, we are able
to navigate to the node quite easily.  However, if the parser does
not see the file, we are unfortunately out of luck without a larger context.
 

Our 3.0 plan includes the implementation
of a new AST which (almost) already allows for "fuzzy" bindings
in C.  
Selection/Navigation features will be
moved to this AST at some point, and I'll ping you at that time to try
it out.  

Cheers,
