Re: [gedit-list] code assistance plugin

[Jesse van den Kieboom <jessevdk gnome org>]

So maybe I can pitch in here a bit. The plugin is still considered to be unstable for regular use in C/C++ projects at this point. We are still experiencing regular crashes and very large memory leaks due to the (maybe improper) use of libclang. Currently, libclang is used in-process which causes quite some head-aches. Any issue in libclang will make gedit either crash, or unusable.

With regard to functionality, more has been in the roadmap for some time, but I don't have the time to work on it now. Things like jumping to symbols was implemented, but turned out to be unstable due to issues in libclang when parsing macro's. All in all, I think it's a nice start, but it's definitely not ready for production use. I have some ideas of the direction forward, but like I said, I can't spend any time on it currently.

Hi!

Just wondering why gedit-code-assistance plugin is not on https://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins this list? 

and why isn't it included in the gedit-plugins package yet? if it were then it would be a good thing to file a bug and write docs for it :)

Thanks.

(Sorry *if* I am overlooking and it's already there!)

Hi Adam,

that's correct mainly it does just highlighting but the idea is to make it provide all the magic like i.e valencia gives.

Regards.

I've been playing with the gedit-code-assistance plugin recently.  There's no documentation at all, so I've been reading the code to try to figure out what it can do.  :)  I *believe* that today gedit-code-assistance provides real-time error highlighting for C, C++, Python and XML, and that is all.  I see a SymbolBrowser class in the code, but can't see any sign of a graphical symbol browser interface.

So is this correct - that's what gedit-code-assistance does today?  Even just this is pretty useful.

Are there plans to expand gedit-code-assistance to provide more features such as jump to definition, a graphical symbol browser, tooltips showing function prototypes and so on?
