Code base at old place of work was all C++. Lots of parser and xref problems; you probably remember some of my email. New job all JAVA. Dbimp croaks, can't build xref, etc. My experience with SN is that it can't parse or build xref's for anything but the simplest of standard C code bases. It doesn't parse C++ or Java in any of the last three places I've worked at. And no, I can't let you have any of the code bases (they don't belong to me). No, I can't afford to pay Redstone to fix these problems (I paid $500 for SN 4.5.1 one month before it went public domain, and I sort of figured bug fixing and maintenance were part of what I paid for). No, I can't fix these problems myself; I spend all of my time (50-60 hrs/week) bringing home a paycheck. So...instead of talking about code base search and replace, why doesn't someone at RedHat fix some of these serious problems? I haven't been able to get an xref of any code base in any language (except a simple std C grep I wrote years ago) for over three years. Pardon my frustration, but I really wish I had my money back. Any chance of that?
