All,
When going through the id utils 'past and future'
section, I noticed the following items:
Future releases of idutils might include:
- an optional coupling with GNU grep, so that grep
can use an ID database for hints
- a cscope work-alike query interface
- incremental update of the ID database.
Now, I love grep's interface, but on large datasets it is
agonizingly slow, since it redoes all the work of
matching every single time the underlying files are read.
Has there been any work/talk with the grep team
towards providing the optional coupling talked about
in #1, or have these efforts/ideas been abandoned?
Ed
