Anyone have a logical view of how the Treebuilder is supposed to work? It would
definitely help me in refactoring things. As it is now, the Treebuilder is
tightly integrated with the ECM, so it is something that won't work right
away... I am just trying to get to a place where I can compile 2.2 so that my
testcases will run and I can verify what I am doing works.
Sylvain knows this and, AFAIK, he's one of the few (only?) that does.
Which is also something that I'm particularely comfortable with, even if this is not clearly Sylvain's fault if what he writes works as expected and nobody has to go there and fix it ;-)
But a description of the internals of the tree processor would be helpful not only for migration for also for future reference (refactor? cleanup? profile? whatever)
I am slowly getting up to speed, and I will eventually get there. The important thing is to grok the big picture, which will help me with the details.
