It is a clone of the cscope program but +has its own unique features such as symbol completion and easy result +browsing. + +freescope is currently limited to building a symbol database for C +source files only but has been designed and implemented with +extensibility in mind. This should lead in the next future in new +capabilities for parsing new programming languages such as C++, Java, +Pascal, etc. + +freescope supports currently 7 different queries. These are: + + - Search for a symbol occurences + - Search for a global definition + - Search for calls to a given function + - Search for text occurences + - Search for regular expression occurences + - Search for a file + - Search for inclusions of the given file + +Note that these queries can be extended to most programming languages. + +WWW: http://freescope.sourceforge.net/ |
