Indexing Code at Scale with Glean
We’re sharing details about Glean, Meta’s open source system for collecting, deriving, and working with facts about source code. In this blog post we’ll talk about why a system like Glean is import…
As the IDE loads the files the developer is working on, the C++ language service seamlessly blends the Glean-provided data with that provided by the native clangd backend. Our target was C++ developers initially because that group typically has the worst IDE experience due to the long compile times, but the approach is not specific to C++ and we imagine other languages following the same path in the future. The data we store in Glean includes enough information to reconstruct the full details of an API: classes, methods, type signatures, inheritance, and so on.
