[anjuta-devel] Aggressivity of merging

[Moritz Lüdecke <ritze skweez net>]

Hello everybody,

Today I tried to merge the calltip code in language-support-vala with 
the new parser-engine plugin. Each corresponding method do this in a 
different way. (see 
https://github.com/ritze/anjuta-clang/commit/814f11c887e63f0a4b9c71eff17649afd8b99e58#L2R401 
"plugins/language-support-vala/provider.vala" and 
"plugins/parser-engine/plugin.c")
For example the vala plugin only displays the parameters of the method 
without the name of the method and parser-engine plugin, which is used 
in the cpp-java plugin, also shows the name of the method.
Additionally I couldn't find out, if the parser-engine plugin will be 
ever append a "..." string for a parameter with variable number of 
arguments (like args in the main method).
My ask is how aggressive should I merge the code? Should each 
language-support plugin show the calltips in the same way or in its own 
way?
Another point is the cache part, which each language-support plugin 
does it in a different way too.
The good news is that I've already merge the obviously code. By the way 
I saw, that the git plugin has very much code duplication.
