[anjuta-devel] The new parser-engine Plugin

[Moritz Lüdecke <ritze skweez net>]

Hello everybody,

I worked hard this week and copied many methods back and forth. The new 
parser-engine plugin implements IAnjutaProvider and uses methods of the 
new interface IAnjutaCalltipProvider, which is implemented by the 
language/parser plugins. IAnjutaParser is history. ;-)

At the moment the cache and memory part is still realised in the 
language/parser plugins and not in the parser-engine plugin. The cache 
behaviour in each language/parser plugin is too different in order to 
merge this part useful.

The python and the parser-cxx plugins use some same code, so I created 
a new util class under libanjuta/anjuta-parser-utils and merged this 
code at one place.

The js and the vala plugin cannot be built at the moment, because I 
first wanted to implement the new interface in the c/c++ and the python 
plugins. So you have to ignore this two plugins in plugin/Makefile.am.

This was the good news. The bad one is that I cannot test the code, 
because the following code returns always a null pointer. [1]

anjuta_shell_get_interface (anjuta_plugin_get_shell (ANJUTA_PLUGIN 
(parser_plugin)), IAnjutaCalltipProvider, NULL);

I've been spending much time in this problem, but I couldn't find a 
solution...

Regards,
Moritz
