Revert r36696: We can't collect BibTeX information during the
updateBuffer() traversal. The reason is simple: InsetCitation needs
access to the BibTeX info to calculate its label. But we won't have it
until we get to the bibliography.
I don't think there is any way around that.
Couldn't we just pass until it gets loaded? I don't see how this is
any different than reference and labels... maybe I am wrong but it
should be as simple as coming back to the InsetCitation in
InsetBibtex::updateBuffe().
How do we go back to the InsetCitation once we have already passed
it? I mean, on that trip through? How do we know when all the
bibliography information has been loaded? We can't until we are done.
So the only thing I can see would be to collect pointers to all the
InsetCitations and then do them all at the end. I don't see anything
similar with references and labels. Their screen labels do not depend
upon anything else.
We _do_ something similar with references and labels: see
Buffer::references() and Buffer::setInsetLabel().
This seems along the lines of the other suggestion that you picked up
on: collecting pointers to all the citations and then doing them at the
end. I'll look at implementing something like that. We then end up with
a citation cache, much like the reference cache. Then the question is:
Are there other cool things one could do with it, if we had it?
