It aims at building a clang daemon to parse, compile, and
generate
informations about source code. Basically
+ multithreaded, distributed compilation
+ coherent support of the language (C/C++/ObjC) throughout IDEs
or text
editors ( formatting, syntax highlight, realtime report of
compilation
errors/warning, maybe static analysis )
The D community already is moving toward this direction as I
can see (
Roman D. Boiko's proposal or Robert Schadek "Distributed
Multithreaded
Caching D Compiler" ) and that's awesome news !
Also the idea of getting compiler error/warning, formatting,
syntax
highlight as a service looks very sweet to me. A wonderful way
to unite
and keep everything in sync from text editor to more powerful
IDEs.
See also Roslyn from Microsoft. DCT project will have a similar
architecture.
