I am working with an open source piece of software that is
overwhelming me and I was hoping to get some advice.
It is in some areas simple and others nearly impossible. There are
many includes and functions scattered among many files in many
directories. While the code itself is not to hard to follow, there is
virtually no commenting or documentation.
I am working on a Windows XP machine, but I am comfortable and have
access to a Unix machine also (my web host via SSH).
Are there any recommended methods or tools for figuring this stuff
out?
Thanks for any advice. The software, by the way, is OpenEMR, which
can be found easily through Google.

Never tried it on PHP, but ctags and vim are a useful combo for many
languages. ctags to build indexes of the code and vim... just the best
editor ever :)

You can attach something like print_r(get_inc lude_files()) to the bottom of
a page to get a list of files included. Would give you some inkling of
what's going on.

I have worked my way thru some serious code. The best approach IMO is
use a php debugger that can single-step the code. You will soon
figure out what is going on. There are a number of threads on the
subject of php debugger or php IDE. If you need them, let me know,
and I will post them.

As you all have seen, I received a host of messages
that say that I should not post up here a question about BOOST.
BOOST is a FREE interface that allows you, THE STANDARD C++

and all I got was hostile and stupid messages with absolutely no
answer to my question.

A while ago I posted a question about how to get operator behave
differently for reading and writing. I basically wanted to make a
vector that can be queried about whether it is modified recently or
not. My first idea, using the const and non-const versions of
operator, was clearly not correct, as was pointed out. Julián Albo
suggested I could use proxies to do that. I've done some googling for
proxies (also in this group) and personally,...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
