Thank you Eric,

but now I ask: does this mean that Jan's version of parsing - iteratively -
all files is just an alternatively correct way to parse all files?

Does not seem to be using (semantic-debug-idle-work-function) [as you can
see in the original post].

1. If I wanted intellisense like things, I guess I could recurse all the
source files (cpp/h) and run this function on it. Similar to original post.
I also do not use EDE for the same reasons as Jan.

2. If I do write a custom lisp to parse all files from root project then I
guess I do not need to use GNUTags? Since the DB is fully formed...

Thank you so far,
learning a lot about this useful tool.
