I've been using cscope (out of advice from Joshua Tolley), and even better its integration into Emacs which is called xcscope.el --- I wouldn't have been able to come up with the extension patch series without that. http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ And as a quick teaser, the keys I mostly use: C-c s d cscope-find-global-definition C-c s s cscope-find-this-symbol C-c s f cscope-find-this-file C-c s I cscope-index-files Regards, -- Dimitri Fontaine http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
