Glean: Code Indexing at Meta

This month's speaker is: Michael Park, a Software Engineer at Meta. He will be presenting:

Glean: Code Indexing at Meta Code indexing is an important technology that powers many essential developer tools; from code navigation in IDEs, to symbol search, to semantic analysis tools such as dead code elimination, etc. Glean is a system built at Meta to accurately index multiple languages in very large codebases. This includes the very large C++ codebase at Meta, and also the build system (Buck2) definitions, and the RPC protocol (Thrift) definitions which ties together to get an understanding of the full codebase. This talk will focus on the intricacies of indexing C++ itself, such as collecting accurate information of macro definitions and their usage.
