codetationsis designed for source code annotation, but may extend to other cases.- Initial work is focused on range annotations representing conceptually complete expressions (expressions may be incorrect).
- When convenient, plugin hooks will be offered for handling other cases.
- Handle online updates when running with IDE support.
- Handle offline updates through language model guessing when running without IDE support.
- Probably a system for double-checking guesses until reliability is guaranteed.
- Annotations should not interfere with reading in a text-based editor or running code.
- Annotations should be editor-agnostic and should not break (too much) if someone who doesn't care about them works with the code.
TODO
OLD below
- The last version of the file being annotated that codetations knows about.
- Two (row, column) pairs indicating where the annotation range starts and ends in that file.
- Additional metadata about the position gathered from the parser, in case the parser is not available later.
