What about ctags? cscope?
$kernelsource> make tags or make cscope
Example ctags:
$ vim
$kernelsource> make tags
- :set tags=/kernelsource/tags - Point tags file
- :ta string - tag Find a tag.
- ctrl ] - Find the tag under the cursor.
- ctrl t - Return to previous location.
- vi -t tag - Start vi and position the cursor at the
file and line where "tag" is defined.
Cheers,
Douglas
