What is a good tool to aid in browsing/following C code? [closed]

Answer 1

I use Anjuta IDE. Not bad. Not sure how it compares to Eclipse IDE.

Answer 2

If you are involved in projects which have a mix of HLL code along with Assembly i'd recommend Opengrok, i have recently shifted to Opengrok and find it amazing, Opengrok + Firefox + Extensions is the best combination in my opinion, a few firefox extensions like Scrapbook etc allow you to modify and add notes while you are browsing code, again this is mostly for 'Browsing' through code and not for modifying it on the fly.

Answer 3

cscope has always been my favorite. There is also cbrowser, but I have not tried it. ctags is also used a lot.

Answer 4

Doxygen can generate an set of web pages that include a source browser. Not quite as fancy as an IDE, but all it needs is a web browser.

Answer 5

Even if you are not a developer go for Source Insight

And if you are, its a MUST HAVE :)

Answer 6

I find ID Utils quite handy. It is like an instant recursive grep. There are bunch of vim recipes to go with it.
