I can't speak to all compiler libraries, but at least libclang, libpython and libvala "compile" the source (well just the front-end of the compiler is needed). They literally use the built-in compiler front ends to understand the code. In the case of libclang, it additionally provides helpful methods for performing IDE-related features on the AST, while say with libvala, the ft-plugin would be required to perform it's own analysis of the AST to implement those feaures, which is still a lot less work than in Geany/TM since it has access to the full AST/context and the ft-plugin need not fear encoding language specific semantics into its logic.
How do you pass {C,CXX,CPP}FLAGS to libclang? And where do you get them from?
Libclang needs the full-fat build knowledge that "project" systems on other IDEs provide. Another reason to keep it separate from Geany.
