168 * \brief clang_createIndex() provides a shared context for creating
169 * translation units. It provides two options:
170 *
171 * - excludeDeclarationsFromPCH: When non-zero, allows enumeration of "local"
172 * declarations (when loading any new translation units). A "local" declaration
173 * is one that belongs in the translation unit itself and not in a precompiled
174 * header that was used by the translation unit. If zero, all declarations
175 * will be enumerated.
176 *
177 * - displayDiagnostics: when non-zero, diagnostics will be output. If zero,
178 * diagnostics will be ignored.
Steve Naroffb4ece632009-10-20 16:36:34 +0000179 *
180 * Here is an example:
181 *
182 * // excludeDeclsFromPCH = 1, displayDiagnostics = 1
183 * Idx = clang_createIndex(1, 1);
184 *
185 * // IndexTest.pch was produced with the following command:
186 * // "clang -x c IndexTest.h -emit-ast -o IndexTest.pch"
187 * TU = clang_createTranslationUnit(Idx, "IndexTest.pch");
188 *
189 * // This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.pch'
190 * clang_loadTranslationUnit(TU, TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
191 * clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);
192 *
193 * // This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.c', excluding symbols
194 * // from 'IndexTest.pch'.
195 * char *args[] = { "-Xclang", "-include-pch=IndexTest.pch", 0 };
196 * TU = clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(Idx, "IndexTest.c", 2, args);
197 * clang_loadTranslationUnit(TU, TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
198 * clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);
199 *
200 * This process of creating the 'pch', loading it separately, and using it (via
201 * -include-pch) allows 'excludeDeclsFromPCH' to remove redundant callbacks
202 * (which gives the indexer the same performance benefit as the compiler).

657 *
658 * This function performs code completion at a particular file, line, and
659 * column within source code, providing results that suggest potential
660 * code snippets based on the context of the completion. The basic model
661 * for code completion is that Clang will parse a complete source file,
662 * performing syntax checking up to the location where code-completion has
663 * been requested. At that point, a special code-completion token is passed
664 * to the parser, which recognizes this token and determines, based on the
665 * current location in the C/Objective-C/C++ grammar and the state of
666 * semantic analysis, what completions to provide. These completions are
Douglas Gregorec6762c2009-12-18 16:20:58 +0000667 * returned via a new \c CXCodeCompleteResults structure.
Douglas Gregor0c8296d2009-11-07 00:00:49 +0000668 *
669 * Code completion itself is meant to be triggered by the client when the
670 * user types punctuation characters or whitespace, at which point the
671 * code-completion location will coincide with the cursor. For example, if \c p
672 * is a pointer, code-completion might be triggered after the "-" and then
673 * after the ">" in \c p->. When the code-completion location is afer the ">",
674 * the completion results will provide, e.g., the members of the struct that
675 * "p" points to. The client is responsible for placing the cursor at the
676 * beginning of the token currently being typed, then filtering the results
677 * based on the contents of the token. For example, when code-completing for
678 * the expression \c p->get, the client should provide the location just after
679 * the ">" (e.g., pointing at the "g") to this code-completion hook. Then, the
680 * client can filter the results based on the current token text ("get"), only
681 * showing those results that start with "get". The intent of this interface
Douglas Gregorec6762c2009-12-18 16:20:58 +0000682 * is to separate the relatively high-latency acquisition of code-completion
Douglas Gregor0c8296d2009-11-07 00:00:49 +0000683 * results from the filtering of results on a per-character basis, which must
