I have a hard time locating where functions are defined, as opposed to where they are prototyped or used. Yeah I know I could use ctags or such, but I prefer simple greps when possible.
There are a few stylistic techniques to make it easy to find a function
definition. One is to put the function name at the very start of its
own line, for example:
int
content_get(int rid, Blob *pBlob){
Now this function's definition can be found by grepping "^content_get",
or "^content_get(" to weed out functions prefixed by this name.
Another is to include the function name in a comment before the
function, then follow the function name with space-dash-dash or some
other sequence that is rarely or never used.
/*
** content_get --
** Extract the content for ID rid and put it into the
** uninitialized blob. Return 1 on success. If the record
** is a phantom, zero pBlob and return 0.
*/
int content_get(int rid, Blob *pBlob){
The Tcl source code does both.
Is there any interest in adopting these techniques or others in the
Fossil source?
