Document the existing architecture from it's main client, the parser, to the individual providers.
The Parser
At the core of the Scanner Discovery profile is the IScannerInfo interface. It has two methods, getIncludePaths, and getDefinedSymbols. It is used by a number of clients to determine the compiler options to help with parsing. There is also an IExtendedScannerInfo that adds is additional methods for other command line options (mainly from gcc) that can affect the compile, e.g. macro files, include files, and local include paths.
