Hi, Thomas!

Where did you looked up? In Gideon (HEAD)? There has to be a parts/ directory 
with several sub dirs (cppsupport among them). Maybe you have looked in the 
KDevelop 2.x sources?

Hmmm, sounds interesting. Although I don't understand what you are talking 
about :-).

Okay, I think this is a very general solution. If we do this way (IMHO) we 
could use one 'parser framework' for the class store and for parsing the cc 
stuff by overwriting the virtual functions once to fill the store and once to 
get the cc infos...

If you are willed to get Gideon's C++ Code Completion work you are welcome! I 
think CC might need some help :-).

We have some, but they are "basic". Maybe I leave this question unanswered 
and forward it to Daniel ;-).

Bye (and good night, if you're tired)
