ideas-for-rust-ide

brainstorm

cross-crate-map - describes the ".rfx" files- node dumps used to link between crates

Commandline use

rustfind crate_root.rs [-x where_to_find_library_source/rfx] // emit html (&rfx) .. eg generate these in the root of rust source tree, then generate in current project dir

rustfind -r crate_root.rs
// just create a .rfx ast/jump def file //(need for showing defs between crates)

you'd have to copy the .css into all dirs , someone told me to decouple style from content, whats the neatest way do deal with that..

IDE component ??

could this be extended to make a component for integrating rust support to an ide..

'interactive mode' was intended to be a step in this direction,eg something that can be fired up by an editor plugin currently this responds to queries of :: with the location of the definition. If you dont specify 'sourcefile', it uses the last sourcefile mentioned. TODO if you dont specify column-number, lookup all useful defs' on that line?

TODO

  • modify its protocol to match an existing tool for a different language (eg emacs clang autocomplete?) look at vi youcompleteme?

  • query type information of symbols

  • find definition by name, and return all possible definitons with their containing scope

  • query methods/member variables suppported by a type

  • autocomplete, like the clang plugins .. possibly supporting the same protocol as the emacs clang plugin?
