Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio Cross Reference Tool

[Martin Braun]

Thanks, Richard, I didn't know this tool existed.

That said, there are excellent tools for searching the source tree 
available through the command line. My favourite is 'ack' (which is 
packaged by all big distros, and has a plugin for at least vim), but 
'git grep' is also very useful and sometimes works better than ack when 
you just want to search indexed items.

Also, many editors have a feature that allows you to open files by fuzzy 
file name search (For Vim, Ctrl-P does this, although I know this was 
copied from some other editor).

During coding, there are several tools you can use to auto-complete 
modules. Again, this depends on your editor, but out-of-the box, I think 
Eclipse comes with most of these.

Cheers,
M
