How do one avoid parsing of entire document when one just inserts or updates a line via code below
ITextChange change = document.CreateTextChange(TextChangeTypes.Replace, textChangeOption);
change.ReplaceText(EditorView.Selection.TextRange, newText);
var result = change.Apply();This calls ParseCore for entire snapshot which is time consuming in case one has a big text file loaded
Hello,
Yes it will parse the entire document on a text change because even a small text change could affect the entire document, such as typing "/*" in C#.
That being said, make sure you have the AmbientParseRequestDispatcher initialized per this documentation. That will allow the parser to run in a background thread and will therefore not affect editing performance. If you do sequential typing, it will cancel any pending parse jobs that haven't yet run too as it adds a new parse request.
