Subject: Re: [Cocci] [RFC PATCH 1/3] parsing_c: includes_cache: Implement a name cache
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2020 22:05:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b5578545-0567-8555-30db-d95a6b7bec1d@web.de> (raw)

> Implement a name cache and includes dependency graph to optimize

Can such information trigger any more evolution besides the contributed
OCaml source code?

How much does hashing matter here?

Can such information indicate a need for its own programming interface?

Is there anything in common with symbol tables?
