| Code Indexing Service |
| </h2> |
| <p> |
| The C/C++ Indexing Service is the underlying backbone behind RDT's C/C++ source analysis features. This feature parses your source code, |
| analyzes its structure, and creates an index (database) of named entities in your code for fast lookups. The index stores information such |
| as the relationships of declarations to their references, and location information. |
| </p> |
| <p>Some of the features driven by the C/C++ Indexing Service are:</p> |
| <UL type="disc"> |
| <li><a href=../tasks/remote_content_assist.html>Content Assist</a></li> |
| <li><a href=../reference/remote_c_search.html>Search</a></li> |
| <li>Navigation</li> |
| <li><a href=../reference/remote_call_hierarchy.html>Call Hierarchy View</a></li> |
| <li><a href=../reference/remote_type_hierarchy.html>Type Hierarchy View</a></li> |
| </UL> |
| |
| The RSE C/C++ Indexing Service is supplied by RDT. This implementation uses the <a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.rse.doc.user/gettingstarted/g_start.html">Remote Systems Explorer</a>'s dstore protocol to access a server that you |
| deploy on the remote machine where your project resides. The actual parsing and indexing are done on the remote machine in order to reduce |
| network traffic, and only the results of the queries are sent back to populate the user interface.</li> |
