Hi all,
How you guys get familiar with a large system writtin in C?
The reason I am asking this is that I found myself get lost
usually when I take a new task (and start looking at the source code).
There are tons of struct, unoin, define, variables, functions and
people don't like to document the meaning/usage of them. This confuses
me and delays the schedule much. I am thinking if this is my poor
ability.
Please help. 4 1168

I guess you meant 'a large project'...

Welcome to the real world. Some tools can help like DOxygen. http://www.doxygen.com/
(sounds that www.stack.nl where the server is hosted is down at the
moment...)

Now, I'm quite sure that when you will write your own project, you will
document it correctly...

I think the best way is to find someone who *is* familiar with the
system and ping on them mercilessly until you've grokked enough to
figure the rest out, or until they get fed up and write everything down
just so you'll go away.
Or, you can use find and grep and keep a lot of notes. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
