Do you have any suggestions or advice for someone looking to design a code model for a new VS language (as a 3rd party extension)? I'm using ANTLR to do lexing and parsing, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to design the AST such that I can perform reparses quickly when the text in the editor is changed (and only reparse what I need to). I'm only just now digging into the VS2010 documentation to see if they have automated tools and services that can help keep my AST up to date as the text changes. Thanks in advance for any comments you might have, and I look forward to more of your great articles on Visual Studio extensibility and ANTLR.</p> Thanks for yet another great article Sam.

The real problem for me is to get the language service running on my custom editor not on the core editor. I hope that somebody can help me. How can I set a specific language service to e.g. a textfield? Any links or snippets would help a lot! Thx!</p> Hi Guys!

There are a host of undefined issues surrounding its use.

For instance, if you build with Compile and Continue or fast (not full) Rebuild then the compilations might be invalid.

We used the switch on our production build server for a while but noticed that every once in a while it would cause the build process to hang indefinitely (needing a reboot)

In VS2008 Microsoft fixed a few issues and worked around some others by enforcing that you can no longer set invalid combinations of compiler switches. For instance, since compile-and-continue was causing problems with “/MPx”, they made it an error to have those two configured at the same time.

Because of the “undefined behavior” in VS2005, I’m dropping “/MP4″ from all our projects until we upgrade to VS2008 or VS2010.

THe syntax is to say “/MP” followed by the number of processors you want to use, so “/MP2″ is 2-processors and “/MP4″ spreads over four processor.

Sadly I cannot test if “/MP64″ works, but I salivate thinking about it :-)
