Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1KDE 1.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMsSuSE RPMs Sniff allows to find all locations from where a selected function is called. KDevelop already allows to 'grep foo(' in the context menu of the class treeview. While this feature doesn't work for me at all it would not do a good job since: 1. It finds calls of the same function name belonging to a different class 2. It doesn't find calls of functions if there are whitespaces between the function name and the left bracket such as foo->bar (); 3. It doesn't distinguish between overloaded functions
It would be nice to know your KDevelop version!
Subject: Re: find callers of functions version 2.1.3. Sorry if the feature is in a newer version of KDevelop (3.0) but nothing in the changelog suggests that. -Rudiger --- Amilcar do Carmo Lucas <a.lucas@tu-bs.de> wrote: > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. > > http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61263 > a.lucas@tu-bs.de changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Component|general |classview > > > > ------- Additional Comments From a.lucas@tu-bs.de 2003-07-15 10:57 > ------- > It would be nice to know your KDevelop version!
Sorry, KDevelop 2.x is no longer under development. You are strongly advised to update to the latest CVS version of KDevelop3, code name gideon, take a look at: http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=branches_compiling.html for all the details you need. If you find a problem or need help please send a mail to the mailing list: http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=mailinglist.html or drop us a line at the channel #kdevelop on the server irc.kde.org using ksirc, for example. Please use the CVS version and compile it yourself because that way you can easily patch it if a bug is found. KDevelop3 can open Develop2 projects. To do so, goto the "Project -> Open Project ... " and select "KDevelop 2 Project Files" in the "Filter:". You can have and run KDevelop3 and KDevelop2 at the same time on the same computer without any problems. So migrating is a breeze. :) P.S. : The KDevelop team closed over 452 reported and confirmed bugs since the release of KDevelop2.1.3 The bad news is that KDevelop3 currently has 120 reported bugs :(

Subject: Re: find callers of functions Let me first say, I am really impressed with gideon. It shows a lot of potential! Excellent work so far. I am really looking forward to the stable releases. The specific feature I was looking for is still not present, although the grep works, as long as it is looking for pointers as foo->doit(); foo.doit() is not found. My coworkers did not all master regular expressions. For them, a "find callers" item that simply does what is requested without intimidating them with a dialog sporting an arcane regex would be close to ideal. That menu item should be in the class view - the context menu of a function. The regex (\.|\->|::)[\t ]*\<%s\>[\t ]*\( is getting close. It finds the function definition itself and the "\fn ClassName::doit(), however - we may filter it out in a second pass. This would also find Bar::doit() even if Bar has nothing to do with Foo, but - nobody is perfect. -Rudiger --- Amilcar do Carmo Lucas <a.lucas@tu-bs.de> wrote: > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. > > http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61263 > > > > > ------- Additional Comments From a.lucas@tu-bs.de 2003-07-15 17:17 > ------- > ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots/kdevelop.tar.bz2
I guess the feature you are talking about is like a 'Find Usage' feature as it works in IntelliJ IDEA (Java IDE), so, this is good. I just want to add here, a some behaviour one could add while implelemnting this feature. Along with having a 'Find Usage' feature wich produce a list of places in the project like the 'Grep' do, is would be very nice to have an 'Hightlight Usage' feature wich is just hightlight the usage of a function or a variable in the currect file only and do not produce any windows. Having binded this to some shortcut is very handy. Look how it works: - The user presses Alt+Shift+F7 (e.g.) - Gideon hightligh the usage of currenlty selected funciton/variable (or one which is under the cursor and not selected) - User got the response, make his/her mind clear about the usage - User press Esc and hightligh turned off.
This is comming. Stay tunned!
Call Tree/Graph Viewer Not only "Find Usage" - why can't C users have a "Function Call Tree" view - either organised by caller or by callee. This used to be a standard part of IDEs such as Borland, but has been substituted with a Class Viewer - I don't say 'replaced' since a Class Viewer is no replacement for a Call graph view ! Forgive me if this is in KDEv 3.0/Gideon ...
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
Doxygen includes similar information. It has a call graph but (unfortunately) lacks a called-by graph. It would also be nice if this feature was clever enough to understand C++ scoping rules, e.g. a call within foo::bar() to boo() could be a call to foo::boo() or boo() or a function within a namespace previously specified with "using namespace". Grep will not provide enough intelligence to find such matches. However it's not a bad start if use of a C++ AST is too complex.
Just to get all these voters a bit excited: A basic experimental use-highlighter has been implemented in KDevelop4 the last days. AFAIK it currently highlights only usages of variables, but extending that shouldn't be much of a problem.
comming in kdevelop4.
This is Fixed in KDevelop4 Take a look at "code navigation" blog on www.kdevelop.org for details
