Can anyone suggest me a good editor for tracing code?
I got a software with about 400,000 lines of source code in C/C++ with
a complicate structure. It mess me up pretty soon whenever I try to
trace for some relationship between this function and another by using
vi or emacs. I guess that I need your suggestion for a better one. I
use solaris, but with a window for MS Window2000 hardwired in my Sun
box. So either system would be fine, except the MS window size is not
large - a little inconvenience for many windows in MS Window2000.
I believe you are looking for the wrong tools - see subject
change.
Your first requirement is a good cross reference generator. You
can find xref.exe for use on DOS/Windows, which will handle up to
26 files, as a component of nmalloc.zip on my site below, download
section. Another thing to look at, especially for interactive
use, is Cscope.
I hope you are able to make minor changes and verify
functionality. I am thinking of such things as marking routines
as static to permanently record that they have no influence
outside a particular source file. Binary comparisions of old and
new object files will often do for verification.
