3.4 Analyzer Internals
======================
The Semantic analyzer is a complex engine which has been broken down
across several modules. When the Semantic analyzer fails, start with
‘semantic-analyze-debug-assist’, then dive into some of these files.
‘semantic-analyze.el’
The core analyzer for defining the “current context”. The current
context is an object that contains references to aspects of the
local context including the current prefix, and a tag list defining
what the prefix means.
‘semantic-analyze-complete.el’
Provides ‘semantic-analyze-possible-completions’.
‘semantic-analyze-debug.el’
The analyzer debugger. Useful when attempting to get everything
configured.
‘semantic-analyze-fcn.el’
Various support functions needed by the analyzer.
‘semantic-ctxt.el’
Local context parser. Contains overloadable functions used to move
around through different scopes, get local variables, and collect
the current prefix used when doing completion.
‘semantic-scope.el’
Calculate “scope” for a location in a buffer. The scope includes
local variables, and tag lists in scope for various reasons, such
as C++ using statements.
‘semanticdb-typecache.el’
The typecache is part of ‘semanticdb’, but is used primarily by the
analyzer to look up datatypes and complex names. The typecache is
bound across source files and builds a master lookup table for data
type names.
‘semantic-ia.el’
Interactive Analyzer functions. Simple routines that do completion
or lookups based on the results from the Analyzer. These routines
are meant as examples for application writers, but are quite useful
as they are.
‘semantic-ia-sb.el’
Speedbar support for the analyzer, displaying context info, and
completion lists.
