Thread: source code indexer
HI all, Sorry to interrupt your busy list. I was wondering if you could recomend a good source code db/indexer that could be used to search through the postgresql code?

Some people here use something called glimpse AFAIR. I don't even know it. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]atentus.com>) Officer Krupke, what are we to do? Gee, officer Krupke, Krup you!

I think the real pros use grep and emacs ;-) But for us mere mortals, I find LXR very useful. I have set one up for my own use -- it gets rebuilt from cvs nightly. If you are interested see: https://www.joeconway.com/lxr.pgsql/ use login name "lxr" and password "pglxr" (without the quotes) HTH, Joe
Grep just to find things. Doxygen to see what is going on in exquisite detail.
Ah. Great! I had download lxr and was starting to dig in to insatall it and thought I would check with the pgers to see what they recommended. Glad to see someone has done this. Thanks, L.

I think I must be one of those 'old school' types. I use find <somedir> <some spec.> | xargs grep often followed by tags in Emacs. It isn't perfect but then I'm not either. -- Nigel J.

I use a commercial editor called Crisp, which is unfortunately a commercial product. It runs on almost any platform: ftp://207.106.42.251/pub/crisp.gif I have found several editor features a great help in PostgreSQL development: programmable macro languagekeyboard record/playbackcolorizationlist of functions in the filetags jump to function definitioncross-referencelistings They are not a big deal when you are making localized changes. In fact, I just used a character-mode editor for those, but when I have to analyze the code or make massive changes, those features make it easier. The screenshot I listed has the functions listed on the left, the cross-reference information at the bottom, and a colorized main editor window. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073

You might find that Gnu id-tools is a much faster way of doing this, especially for large amounts of source code. cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs@cynic.net> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're alllight. --XTC
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions. I have found Source Navigator to be very close and useful for what I was looking for! Thanks again, L.
