Re: [anjuta-devel] Code assistance plugin

[Ignacio Casal Quinteiro <nacho resa gmail com>]

Hey,

about building gedit-code-plugin from master, do you have vala from git?

In case you are interested there is also the python backend in the plugin

which provide a very simple real time syntax check.

About the merge, dunno most of the important text editors i.e vim or

emacs (if it can be considered a text editor) also provide IDE like features.

Although this was just an idea as a lot of people are already using gedit

as an IDE or main development tool with the plugins that we provide with

it. i.e myself. See that I was proposing this 'cause we could focus in specific

points that are missing in both of projects like code folding and other

things that would need improvement.

Anyway it is probably true that anjuta is very IDE specific while with gedit

we try to reach also the text editor specific user base and it kinda needs

some efford from the user to make it as an IDE enabling specific plugins.

Regards.

Hi all!

To be honest I don't know the exact feature set of clang but being a C/C
++/Cobj compiler it should be possible to do symbol parsing, etc. with
it. I am glad you guys found out some details.

It only works for C/C++/CObj though and we might still need solutions
for other programming langauges. IMHO it should be enough for anjuta to
support Python and Vala and _javascript_ in addition, for vala we
basically have our own compiler we can access, for python and _javascript_
I am not sure.

Regarding the gedit case - I have mentioned a couple of times in the
past that I think extending gedit to an IDE is the wrong way for me
since it is (and should for most people) be a simple text editor. BTW,
for Anjuta supporting gedit plugins would mean that we would have to
drop scintilla and give plugins direct access to gtksourceview. But in
the end I doubt it is easily possible to integrate glade into gedit as
it is already pretty complex in anjuta and might conflict with a lot of
other goals gedit might have.

I never understood why gedit developers never thought about contributing
to anjuta instead (apart from nacho - who did a couple of times).

Regards,
Johannes
