Hi, all
I have been working on implementing a tool-set of code assistance called
GCCSense, which enables code-completion for C/C++ in editors or a terminal.
http://cx4a.org/software/gccsense/
GCCSense depends on its own GCC which has special options for code
assistance such like -code-completion-at:
$ cat
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string s;
s.
}
$ # Print completion candidates at line 5 and column 7 of a.cc
$ g++-code-assist -fsyntax-only -code-completion-at=a.cc:5:7 a.c
Now, I have the following problems:
* Hard to build that GCC for users
* Hard to maintain that GCC for me
Plugin might be a solution for them. Finally, however, I found that
there is no proper plugin entrances for code assistance. As you may
understand if you read an attached patch, GCCSense needs to handle
quickly a special token for code-completion after particular tokens such
as "." and "->" in parser phase.
Is there any good solution for this ?
Or could you implement such plugin entrances for code assistance ?
Thanks.

I did suggest (in a previous private emaol) to Tomohiro to consider
making his g++-code-assist a proper GCC plugin. I even dared suggesting
him to make it a GCC MELT module (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/MiddleEndLispTranslator for more about GCC MELT).
However, I am not sure to understand why Tomohiro needs to hack the GCC
parser itself. I was thinking that he might instead write a plugin which
works at the Generic/TREE (or even perhaps Gimple) level.
What do other people think?
Regards.
