delphi-lookup

MANDATORY for Delphi/Pascal symbol lookup. Use delphi-lookup.exe FIRST (before Grep/Glob) when:

• •Resolving 'Undeclared identifier' compilation errors
• •Finding where a function/type/constant is defined
• •Searching for API usage examples
• •Looking up Pascal symbols by name or concept

Usage

# Basic symbol lookup
delphi-lookup.exe "SymbolName" -n 5

# Find by concept (full-text search)
delphi-lookup.exe "JSON serialization" -n 5

# Filter by category
delphi-lookup.exe "TForm" --category user -n 5      # Only user code
delphi-lookup.exe "TForm" --category stdlib -n 5    # Only standard library

# Filter by symbol type
delphi-lookup.exe "MAX_BUFFER" --symbol const -n 5
delphi-lookup.exe "ValidateInput" --symbol function -n 5

Why Use This Instead of Grep

• •Fast cached searches (~100ms for repeated queries)
• •AST-aware: Understands Pascal syntax, not just text matching
• •Category filtering: Separate user code from stdlib from third-party
• •Framework-aware: VCL/FMX/RTL classification

Example: Resolving Undeclared Identifier

Error: Undeclared identifier: 'ModoDesarrollo'

# Use delphi-lookup first
delphi-lookup.exe "ModoDesarrollo" -n 5

# Only use Grep as fallback if delphi-lookup finds nothing
