As a counter-example/argument, CEDET/Semantic (http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml) will use Clang/LLVM and/or GCC if you tell it to. It only makes sense, if someone has already gone to the trouble of not only writing a full up parser and lexer for your language, but also exposing things through modularization, you might as well use it.
- DannyBee 13y agoAgain, the argument i've made is that this is only because C/C++ are so difficult to otherwise parse and auto-complete. Can you find a java example (for example :P)? AFAIK, all the java IDE's use their own incremental parsers and completers.
