24 ;; Semantic Symbol Reference API.
26 ;; Semantic's native parsing tools do not handle symbol references.
27 ;; Tracking such information is a task that requires a huge amount of
28 ;; space and processing not apropriate for an Emacs Lisp program.
30 ;; Many desired tools used in refactoring, however, need to have
31 ;; such references available to them. This API aims to provide a
32 ;; range of functions that can be used to identify references. The
33 ;; API is backed by an OO system that is used to allow multiple
34 ;; external tools to provide the information.
36 ;; The default implementation uses a find/grep combination to do a
37 ;; search. This works ok in small projects. For larger projects, it
38 ;; is important to find an alternate tool to use as a back-end to
41 ;; See the command: `semantic-symref' for an example app using this api.
45 ;; The following functions can be used to find different kinds of
48 ;; `semantic-symref-find-references-by-name'
49 ;; `semantic-symref-find-file-references-by-name'
50 ;; `semantic-symref-find-text'
52 ;; All the search routines return a class of type
53 ;; `semantic-symref-result'. You can reference the various slots, but
54 ;; you will need the following methods to get extended information.
56 ;; `semantic-symref-result-get-files'
57 ;; `semantic-symref-result-get-tags'
59 ;; ADD A NEW EXTERNAL TOOL
61 ;; To support a new external tool, sublcass `semantic-symref-tool-baseclass'
62 ;; and implement the methods. The baseclass provides support for
63 ;; managing external processes that produce parsable output.
65 ;; Your tool should then create an instance of `semantic-symref-result'.
