Cscope Description

A developer's tool for browsing source code. Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code. Cscope project has an impeccable Unix pedigree, having been originally developed at Bell Labs back in the days of the PDP-11.Cscope was part of the official AT&T Unix distribution for many years, and has been used to manage projects involving 20 million lines of code!In April, 2000, thanks to the Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) (since merged with Caldera), the code for Cscope was open sourced under the BSD license. Here are some key features of "Cscope": Allows searching code for: · all references to a symbol · global definitions · functions called by a function · functions calling a function · text string · regular expression pattern · a file · files including a file · Curses based (text screen) · An information database is generated for faster searches and later reference · The fuzzy parser supports C, but is flexible enough to be useful for C++ and Java, and for use as a generalized 'grep database' (use it to browse large text documents!) · Has a command line mode for inclusion in scripts or as a backend to a GUI/frontend · Runs on all flavors of Unix, plus most monopoly-controlled operating systems. What's New in This Release: · Some build file updates for newest autotools · Fixes for some screen redraw corner cases · Fixes for newline handling in dir names · Fixes for non-readable files · A few crash fixes · Fixes to handle hpp/hxx files · Fixes to clean tmp files on exit · Minor lexer fixes · Documentation enhancement
