[OpenWalnut-Dev] Source Exploration

[Sebastian Eichelbaum]

Hi

Want to explore the OW code? Do you need a call-tree for some method? These task could not have been easier with cscope. Just in case you not currently know csope and some related tools, you really should have a look at them. Cscope builds an database by parsing the code. This database contains information about all declared classes, their methods and so on, as well as an inverse index containing information about methods getting called by others. Tools like KScope or seascope help you to browse the code and find the class and method you search. Of course, the very cool VIM users and the not that cool emacs users can use cscope directly in their editor of choice.
