Ceylon take various source files in and generates a tree of files where the names of the resultant files bear no obvious relationship to the source. Moreover this is a many-to-many mapping. Effectively the compiler creates an internal indexed database rather than per file/class compilation products. On the one hand this is so far from the C/C++/Fortran/D model that there is no hope of compromise. On the other hand it maybe that the Ceylon compilation database structure is actually very simple and can be dealt with by having quasi-hardwired dependencies. Database file names are module structured so it may be that the database structure is deducible using a SCons scanner over the incoming source. I would be more motivated to do something about this if there were an Emacs mode for Ceylon. Currently they are only interested in using Eclipse. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
