[Monodevelop-devel] Parser Overview

[Mike Krüger]

Hi

I think it works almost the same way than before. The language bindings
should provide the parser for class browser/quick navigation. And they
should do the code completion (there is a class completiontexteditor
extension which makes at a bit easier to handle different completion
cases). But basically the language bindings extend the text editor with
completion.

See the CSharpLanguageBinding for details. Tags are just a special type
of comments. I'm not really happy with the name. (Tag comments are
'TODO', 'HACK' etc.)

The thing that's really interresting for code completion is the
ICompilationUnit inside the ParsedDocument. This contains all
information.

Regards
Mike
