[cfe-dev] Lazily parsing additional source files

[Gábor Horváth]

Thanks, that is a good point. Do yo know what is the current status of
module support for C++? Is it mature enough to be used? If not mature
enough yet is it worth for me to start working on it (so it is less effort
to make them work with regular translation units than creating my own lazy
parsing logic)?

Cheers,
Gábor
