Hello everyone,
I've been playing around in a branch of doc-base and en to see if
there's an elegant way to implement linking to the related php-src *.c
file of functions and methods (and possibly more, in the future).
The idea is that when documenting a function or method, it's often
necessary to pull up the source for it. To do so, one typically has to
grep the sources or guess where the function or method is defined. My
hope was to set a source control property on each function and method
file, which points to the URL of the of the source file.
By doing this, it becomes trivial to use a command to pull up the
sources. An example would be "google-chrome `svn propget srcurl %f`"
As well, beyond this, it would become possible to add links in the
reference pages themselves based on that property. To that end, there
was a concern that the increase in traffic towards viewvc might cause
problems, but that's just an idea.
My branches can be found at
phpdoc/doc-base/branches/function_definitions/ and
phpdoc/en/branches/function_definitions/
Any ideas or concerns?
Thanks,
Justin Martin
