Abstract

New programming languages often lack good IDE support, as developing advanced semantic editor services takes additional effort. In previous work we discussed the operational requirements of a constraint solver that leverages the declarative type system specification of a language to provide language-parametric semantic editor services. In this work we describe the implementation of our solver as a two stage process: inference and search. An editor-service specific search strategy determines how and where the search is conducted, and when it terminates. We are currently implementing and evaluating this idea.
