source code indexing, symbol/fact extraction, cross-reference linking #185

Closed fangism closed 4 years ago

Gist:

extract symbol definitions and declarations and references
establish use/definition links
symbols would be properly scoped

Purpose:

code navigation (IDEs)
auto-completion
all-of-the-above, but incremental, and operable on local workspace changes

Representation? any structure that is easily exportable/convertible to interfaces expected by other tools such as IDEs. For example https://github.com/kythe/kythe is one platform for serving source code information and metadata.

This is somewhat done. The indexing is working. The remaining tasks are covered with the finer grained bugs. This issue is not useful anymore.
