Incremental parsing on demand by code editors

Open mcserep opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Right now the CodeCompass_webserver serves the web frontend. It also communicates with the supported code editors like VS Code, through LSP (see lsp branch).
While CodeCompass is capable of incremental parsing and its LSP-compliant service can receive requests for reparsing files (along with the new content of those files), the CodeCompass_webserver binary does not contains the parsers, so CodeCompass_parser have to be launched in an inconvenient way. It would be nice to have a service frontend which can receive requests to reparse files, and launch an incremental parsing appropriately.

What is your opinion on this subject?
