DXR gives a nice contextual navigation, but the size of the code base is
overwhelming to have a clear understanding of what is going on. One of
the thing that I am looking at in general is to understand the
conditionals which are giving a particular result, or the consequences
of a statement. Such overview is hard to get when you have ~30 DXR tabs
opened. I would love to have a graph overview of these relations, as
well as seeing the conditionals/guards as part of the graph.
Can you please clarify what you mean here?
I mean that if we could keep track of the relation followed while browsing
the code such as caller / callee / references, this could help build a nice
graph overview of how the code is shaped, and help the navigation and
understanding of the code.
After discussing with Eshan, it seems like being able to add/remove lines of
context to any search would be good step forward.
