Re: [9fans] ctags on plan 9 with acme-friendly tags

["Steve Simon" <steve@quintile.net>]

there was somthing which analysed C and produced a call graph in the form
of input for dot(1) years ago, the problem was a complex program produced a
complex graph... I will try to find out the packages name if required, I have
a feeling it may have been in comp.sources.(unix misc).

My personal favorite for analysing other peoples code is to a regular expression
to strip (possibly misleading) comments from the code. I then toggle Undo/Redo
as I read the code; but this is old news I expect.

I wrote a crude tool for indexing large chunks of C source in my contrib area
(srch) it uses lex(1) only so much of its crudity comes from its vague understanding
of C syntax.

nemo released some interesting indexing tools (in his contrib area) for plan9 but to my
chagrin I have yet to try them.
