Where does Xcode store its indexes?

Where does Xcode store the indexes for the "jump to definition" feature?

I'm interested in both Xcode 3 and Xcode 4.

For Xcode 3 all this information seems to be stored in the directory build/<project_name>.build/<project_name>.pbxindex. You'll see a bunch of .pbxtree files there plus a further subdirectory strings.pbxstrings. It will probably take a while to reverse engineer the format of all this data, as it's not published anywhere AFAIK.
