#cscope
Ripscope runs natively on Linux and Windows: same searches, same editors, same self-updating index.

On Windows it answers three to four times faster than cscope -q on average, and saved edits reach your next search with no rebuild.

Ripscope was measured against cscope on 100 real C projects, from the Linux kernel to SQLite and, yes, Doom. It reads every file in all of them.

It also finds what cscope misses, like calls in Emacs's DEFUN bodies and writes like total_forks++. Faster, too.

How fast should a code search be? Faster than a blink.

Ripscope answers three to five times faster than cscope -q on average, and finds every write to a variable in 2 ms instead of 145.

Ripscope 0.1.0 is out: cscope's C searches, three to five times faster than cscope -q on average.

Save a file and your next search already sees it. No build, no compile database.

Vim, Neovim, Emacs or the command line. Linux and Windows.

En realidad es instalar vim ctags cscope gcc y gdb, el tema son las combinaciones de teclas nomas

Shorter version of CSCOPE opponent on KUT this morning: "Are you now or have you ever been a proponent of group school projects?"

Confession: I use cscope on Rust. While it works better than one might expect (!), I would love something Rust-specific that abides by cscope's same constraints: standalone, terminal-based, quick, designed for reading source rather than editing. Surely such a thing exists?!

So vibe coding is essentially cscope + M-x disassociated-press but with more data?

I can't tell you about this week in particular, but she tells me they can do EGD/Cscope for bleeding or stricture but don't have anyone who can do ERCP/pancreatic duct stenting or the like

提升程式碼閱讀效率:vim 結合 ctags 與 cscope 的使用指南

在實務開發中,工程師經常需要面對規模龐大、結構複雜的程式碼專案,例如:Linux Kernel、嵌入式韌體。vim 作為一套高度可客製化的文字編輯器,若搭配 ctags 與 cscope 這兩個工具,便能建構出一個快速且方便的程式碼閱讀平台。透過這樣的組合,工程師可以在純文字環境中,迅速完成「跳轉函數定義」、「查找函數參考」等關鍵操作,大幅提升閱讀與維護程式碼的效率。本文將以實際使用情境為導向,說明如何設定 vim 並結合 ctags 與 cscope,協助建立一個日常開發的程式碼閱讀流程。

ひさしぶりにCのコードをガッツリ読む必要が(予期せず)あって、cscope するなどしていた

A productive start of the week for #SHORK 486 #Linux with Cscope, Ctags, dialog, Indent, Make & NASM compiled and tested! There was also "budget" to enable 33 new BusyBox coreutils. All can now be tried from the PT1 branch! Here are all the available commands on a Plus build as of tonight!

It should be easy enough to implement in most programming modes in emacs, but as you have noted it is not yet done.

I have never had any desire this.

If I want to find the a number of identifiers in a complex code base I use tools that do that as their primary function, such as CScope for C code.

The latter part of my career was Word and Visio because I wrote system architecture documents. 250 to 300 page documents.

I still use Vim on the rare occasions I get to program. With plugins to give code flow support (it links to Cscope, the first syntax aware code browser).

それはそれとして、Vim から VSCode に移るべきかを悩んでる。

別に使いこなしてるわけじゃないのと、やっぱ時短したいからトレンドなものを使いたい気持ち。
いい加減に C以外の言語(特に Python)に触れなければという焦りや、やるなら楽したいのもある。

cscope の利便性がどの言語にも適用できて ripgrep のように高速検索できると判れば すぐにでも移るんだけど、いま困ってないから探すのとか環境作る面倒さに屈してしまう。
