The Gnu id-utils (gid) allows you to perform a quick search of the source base for an identifier. For example, you can use this to get a list of all the locations where a function or structure or a variable is used. The GNU id-utils also can search for an identifier approximately (aid). You cannot use id-utils to get a list of functions calling a function or functions called by a function. For more information, refer to the following page: http://www.gnu.org/software/idutils/manual/idutils.html I have developed a Vim plugin that integrates id-utils with Vim. You can download this from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=251 There is also another Gnu tool called global that helps in browsing code. For more information about this tool, refer to http://www.gnu.org/software/global/ - Yegappan -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
