Hi Adam, I'm using VIM to develop my projects every day. They are mainly C code with some perl/python/batch and makefiles. You didn't mention which OS you are using. So i just want to share my experience on Windows. cscope is a great plugin to do what you want even though it isn't updated for a while. You can just download it and put it into PTAH. Then use it to generate a database file. In my case, i wrote a batch file to do this : |del cscope.out| |ctags -R --c++-types=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q| |gfind . -regex ||".*\.\(c\|h\|mak\|py\|pl\|bat\|cmd\)"| |-not -regex ||".*\(no_use\).*"| |-type f -||printf| |"%%p\n"| |>cscope.file| |cscope -Rb -icscope.file|
After you get cscope.out(database file), you can open the gvim and use <:cs add cscope.out> to load your database file. Then you can lookup your symbols use cs find x xxxxxxx(you can find help by simply type :cs command) BTW: there is a great plugin named cscope_maps.vim, it provide bunches of key map for cscope usage. δΊ 2012/5/18 11:39, hilal Adam ει: > > I am bias towards VIM when it comes to editors for doing development > work (mainly C).
