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?

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,

Some people here use something called glimpse AFAIR. I don't even know
it.

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,

Grep just to find things.

Doxygen to see what is going on in exquisite detail.

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.

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 language
keyboard record/playback
colorization
list of functions in the file
tags jump to function definition
cross-reference listings

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.

You might find that Gnu id-tools is a much faster way of
doing this, especially for large amounts of source code.

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,
