Package org.eclipse.cdt.core.index

Interface IPDOMASTProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:
IPDOMASTProcessor.Abstract
public interface IPDOMASTProcessor
The PDOMASTProcessor extension point allows contributors to the org.eclipse.cdt.core.PDOMASTProcessor extension-point to store their own information in the persisted index. The intent is for contributors to define their own ILinkage to avoid managing conflicts with the storage format for existing linkages.

NOTE: The existing org.eclipse.cdt.core.language extension-point, allows new pdomLinkageFactories to be added. However, the IPDOMLinkageFactory interface which must be implemented is in an internal package.

Since:
5.6
Restriction:
Clients should extend IPDOMASTProcessor.Abstract.

      int process(IASTTranslationUnit ast, IIndexSymbols symbols) throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException
      Processes the input AST by adding significant symbols to the given output map. Returns the linkage id that should be used to store the result, or ILinkage.NO_LINKAGE_ID if the AST contained nothing of significance to this processor.
      Parameters:
      ast - The input AST to be processed.
      symbols - The output map of significant symbols.
      Returns:
      The linkage-id in which to store the symbols or ILinkage.NO_LINKAGE_ID if the AST contained nothing of significance.
      Throws:
      org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException
