[cdt-dev] running the indexer as part of a nightly build

[Mike Kucera <mkucera@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question regarding the generation of offline indexes.

Some of the teams here at IBM want to try using CDT as a replacement for
vi. Currently they use ctags (or something like it) to get some content
assist features. The code bases are huge so they generate the ctags index
as part of their nightly build, that way each developer can get an up to
date index for the entire codebase without having to generate it
themselves. Is it possible to do something like this with CDT?
