- I've just started using GnuEmacs for work and am looking for a set
- of functions that will let me trace C identifiers through various
- files. Etags and the associated emacs functions seems to be a
- start but I want to be able to do five distinct operations:
-
- 1. Jump to the declaration of an identifier.
- 2. Jump to the declaration of an identifier's type.
- 3. Jump to the next instance of the identifier within the
- current buffer.
- 4. Jump to the next instance of the identifier in another
- buffer (and open the file if necessary).
- 5. List, (perhaps in an electric buffer), the files (or
- buffers) in which the identifier exists.
-
- Any subset of this would be appreciated. Does anybody know of
- such a tool? It seems to me that this is an obvious sort of tool
- and must have already been written.
-
- For BNR people, I'm looking for something like IDTRACK or FULLXREF.
-
- Thanks for your help,
