Does CEDET work? I hope your question doesn't get buried by the tongue-in-cheek trappings of your post. CEDET does have a reputation for frustrating complexity at times (although I do not believe it is as deserved as many would have it) In my experience the answer is an emphatic yes, CEDET works. Not only that it works better now than it ever has before. Here is some 'proof': http://i.imgur.com/OGrq6.png For the screenshot I opened up a random Emacs source file, went to a random function, and tried to complete a structure. In this case it was glyph_matrix, and we can see that CEDET has provided a list of all the members of the glyph_matrix struct. There is a bit prettification going on there, I use AutoCompleteMode and its AC-Semantic backend to do the overlay-based completion window but the heavy lifting is all CEDET. And lest you think that setup required extensive, painstaking configuration I present to you the sum total of my CEDET specific configuration: ;; Semantic (global-semantic-idle-completions-mode t) (global-semantic-decoration-mode t) (global-semantic-highlight-func-mode t) (global-semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-mode t) ;; CC-mode (add-hook 'c-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq ac-sources (append '(ac-source-semantic) ac-sources)) (local-set-key (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent) (linum-mode t) (semantic-mode t))) You should check it out yourself if you haven't in a while. -- Do they only stand By ignorance, is that their happy state, The proof of their obedience and their faith?
