That doesn't make sense. If you're doing code completion, then by definition, what you have now does not parse. If it doesn't parse, you can't build IL from it. A parser is pretty much all you need for code completion, not any of the rest of the compiler (e.g. Eclipse has just a parser and a syntax tree). -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
