I really like geany as it uses scintilla, the only feature I feel is missing is the intellisense like code competition for C++. I would like to ask if anyone is working on a better code competition for C++. I am not talking about ctags but something more advanced that can give me code hints on the fly without the need of rebuilding the index.
I don't think anyone's working on that ATM. There was some work to make Geany able to parse tags from memory instead of from disk, but it wasn't finished.
Well, I had an attempt a while ago to achieve this [1], but I didn't finished it already. I used a small library I written for the occasion, called MIO [2], that replicates C's file IO functions, but allowing to choose between memory or file IO. This makes the tagmanager update quite easy.
BTW almost everything is done, but it needs someone to check whether it actually work in memory and don't do some FILE I/O (if Geany correctly demands memory IO, and if the tagmanager doesn't do extra file IO). Unfortunately, I wasn't sure how to check for this... (just thinking I may add a debug statement in my IO object creation functions)
You could try using strace to check what file IO is being done.
Cheers Lex
But I can try to bring this upper in my todo-list, and somebody with better knowledge of the tagmanager (Enrico? Nick? :D) may want to help :)
