Explore SCIP Integration for Multi-Language Code Parsing

Problem to Solve

Proposed Solution

Description

We are currently developing custom code parsers in-house, which requires significant maintenance effort and limits our language coverage. We should investigate integrating with SCIP (Source Code Intelligence Protocol) to potentially replace or expand our custom parsers and expand support for additional programming languages.

Background

• Currently maintaining custom code parsers
• Limited language coverage with current approach
• SCIP provides a standardized protocol for code intelligence

Proposed Solution

Explore the feasibility of:

1. Integrating with SCIP protocol
2. Supporting SCIP index format
3. Leveraging existing SCIP tooling for broader language support

Resources

• SCIP Repository: https://github.com/sourcegraph/scip

Acceptance Criteria

• Research SCIP capabilities and supported languages
• Evaluate integration complexity with our current system
• Assess performance implications
• Create proof-of-concept implementation
• Document findings and recommendations

Benefits

• Reduced maintenance overhead for custom parsers
• Expanded language support
• Standardized code intelligence protocol
• Potential performance improvements
