Hello colleagues,
the obvious answer to the literal question is: Open the file and use your
favorite method of text-to-mind-transfer.
However, the question goes deeper: Are there tools available that help me
(or anyone) understanding a given program structure?
More than once now, i thought: Well, extending that package should be easy,
but later it was medium sized complicated, as the program structure was
somehow hidden inside a type hierarchy. And just a call graph would have
been nice.
In other environments i'd use a debugger (and some breakpoints) or some
tools for tracing. Or the find function in the text editor.
In Julia programs due to multiple dispatch the function name tells me only
half of the story which part of the source to read, i need the type of the
argument also.
I played around with the Profiler, but as it is sampling, not all the
called code is showing up.
Do i miss something obvious for tooling?
Wishing a happy day,
Andreas
