Sorry about that. When clearing up some windows I thought I'd saved
that for later....
I might as well continue it now.
I am interested in ways of creating cross reference information from
objc projects.
Uno, ctree, cxref, and friends do not handle objc well. The hooks in
gcc which
PB uses to generate raw information for it's pbxindex and pbxbtree
information
could be used to do this, but that's both a horrible hack and will be
wither going away
soon or significantly altered in Xcode.
For large C projects in the past, I implemented a small perl harness
around ctags/etags
and used this to generete pretty troff cross references, and graphical
representations
of interface call patterns via graphviz->postscript. This made it
incredibly easy to
see the big picture of what was going on in the project.
Before I start re-inventing any wheels can anyone here comment on how
open the
Xcode (Code Sense) indices are likely to be. I won't have Xcode until
Apple
ships to Select members, but want to start thinking about this project.
It would be great if it is implemented using the the new Searching
Framework
in a way that enables developers to write code which integrates well
with Xcode
resources.
