Intellisense(tm) again

[holle at almaden.ibm.com]

Hmm, good point. Maybe we should only parse the files included by this file ?
This means running cpp on our current file and the grepping for the class
QString declaration ...  Emacs only looks at all it's buffers when he tries to
complete things.
---- You can even preparse the includefiles once the user wrote "#include
<foo.h>" (or that string is loaded from disk).
Furthermore you could actually do some ai-algorithm here that matches QString to
the headerfile qstring.h and looks in that headerfile/related database first

Hi,

I have been walking trough the source for that Intellisense(IS) stuff..

i have found some struff:

1) When i add a variable in a functions:

void Class::test()
{
     QString bla;
     bla.

When i what that IS see that bla is a QString, it has to scan this file
first to know what type bla is.. maby faster to make in the parser a
function to parse only 1 function !

2) we need to have ALL the KDE and QT functions in a database, what we can
do i a create a file on first startup that generate that file/database.
If you want to upgrade we can make a rescan option..

I think we have only to scan the .h files of QT and KDE !


some food for thought ;-)
