I triede ebrowse when it came out. It is a flop and no one uses/talks
about it anymore. It might as well be removed from Emacs.
CEDET/Semantic is the new hotness. I try it every 2 years for a short
while. It always ends up slowing down my Emacs with various lockups
because of all the parsing it does. Perhaps it works better in 24.3?
I am not specifically talking about C++, that what just an example. I
would like see the TAGS file extended with a "type" field so that my
imagined guess-class-name-at-point function would work for *all*
programming languages. It would be nice if Emacs had a generic API(*)
for semantic information so that for example auto completion system
could be written without specific knowledge of the major-mode (~
programming language).
*) guess-class-name-at-point, find-class-for-identifier-at-point, etc.
