Cross reference...

Cross reference...

[Siva_Prasad_Reddy]

Hi,

I am Siva Prasad, working for 3Com.

I am using Source Navigator and it is really a great tool for developers. I
would like to appreciate your effort for the open source environment with great
tools like Source Navigator.

I got a small question...
* I am using "Cross Reference" more often when ever I start trace analyzing the
code. It works one way only, I mean, I can look for references from a particular
routine to what are called from that routine. Is there a possibility of looking
for what called this current routine?. I am using "grep" for finding who is
calling the current routine. I would love if that is available as part of "Cross
Reference". Is there any reason why this kind of feature not implemented. I
would like to lend my support in develop this feature if you think, it is
possible.

Your help regarding this would be great and highly appreciated.

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks,
Siva Prasad.

so basically, you've found how to see which functions are called from 
function X and you'd now like to see which functions are calling
function X.

On the Xref window they are to buttons with pointing hands on
them. The button pointing to the right will should you the
calls made by the current function, the button pointing to the
left shows you the calls made to that function.

There maybe X-ref issues with certain languages which would
stop this working, but I'm currently unfamiliar with them.

Another useful point is the "Details to" and Details by"
options which can be accessed by right clicking over a X-ref
symbol.  This is most useful when driving a editor pane (i.e.
add and editor view to the Xref tab).
