All:
Does anyone know of a tool that will take an arbitrary list of source
files (say C) and cross reference the variables and routines among the
source files? Here?s the problem. I?m trying to adapt and extract a small
portion of a large project for a smaller project. The header files spider
all over the place and the code calls functions in several modules. In all,
there?s several hundred of source files in the large project and I think
I?ll probably need fragments of about 15 of them.
Does this make sense to anyone? I want to take the source file I?m
interested in and find out where the variables and functions are declared in
other modules.

My personal favorite is an old DOS program called "Source Print+". It works
on BASIC, C (& C++), FORTRAN, etc., etc. I even use it on my various
assembly language programs, and you can define keyword lists (for the
keyword highlighting feature). It functions as a kind of "pretty print"
program and a cross-reference utility. There is/was also a companion program
called "Tree Source+" which draw function call trees based on the source
code.

CTags. Check out

That should do exactly what you want.

Excuse me all...what the HELL does this have to do with classic
computers? There are other mailing lists, resources (ie Google) that
can be used to obtain this information and opinions.
Why is that members of this list have to ask/talk about any subject on
this mailing list? This isn't the only damned discussion list on the
internet. If you have something to say about a random subject go find a
discussion group for that. If you want to say something to a member (or
members) of this list that isn't on topic...use private e-mail. It is
not a requirement that every electronic conversation you have has to go
through this list.
If you want to talk about classic computers, then this is the list for
that. If it isn't...go someplace else. I'm sick and tired of the
endless chatter about random crap that has absolutely nothing to do with
classic computers.
This list has degenerated into almost complete noise. I belong to many
lists (and some of them are *very* high volume) and *none* of them fails
to stay on topic. This is the only list I'm on where people can't seem
to stay on topic. I'm beginning to think that this list isn't worth the
time I have to spend deleting posts that have absolutely nothing to do
with the list charter.

[This is a portion of an email I sent to Jay yesterday]
After a long time being on this list, I'm about to leave it. I find myself
deleting about 90-95% of the messages that are posted.
At one time, it felt like it was a list for folks wanting to chat about
vintage computers. But over time, it has become a list where just about
anything goes.
I know it's not your fault, Jay. For some reason, this list seems to be
unmanageable. I belong to many lists - most are not managed (or one would
more properly say "self managed"). None of these lists "stray" from
their
stated purpose as does this list.
Suggestion: Split the CCLIST into two or maybe three lists - One list for
those who what do discuss vintage minicomputers, one for vintage
microcomputers and one for anything classic electronic (what is now posted as
"off-topic"). Define vintage as being at least 15 years old and classic being
at least 10 years old.
It seems to me that "self-managing" of the lists would be easier - as members
would suggest that a certain subject belongs on another list within the same
"family" of lists.
I suppose one could argue that some "cross-fertilization" would be lost. But I
think there is more danger that those of us with a great deal of experience
in minis and micros [and restoration] will abandon the list if something
doesn't happen to encourage people to stay on topic.

Lyle

This list is a mix of both on-topic and off-topic stuff. If you notice the
email alias it was sent to, it went to the "both" list. There had been talk
of separating the lists but one still feeds the other. Believe me, I don't
want to be the catalyst or the target of scorn at all.
Now that I'm on the defensive, the relevance is that this tool is being used
to analyze source code of a program that's part of a 6502-based emulation
project I'm working on. I believe that the 6502 qualifies as "classic" and
so does "emulation of old machines".
I didn't feel it necessary to justify the need for the info (to which no
less than 10 people have responded with very helpful links and pointers --
thanks) since (1) it is for a classic-related project and (2) I've been on
this list since 1998 and the UWash days and people know I don't ask
meaningless, time-wasting questions. I feel I can ask an occasional question
of one of the most knowledgeable group of technology people I know.
Sorry to have bothered you. Thanks.
Rich
