68 @chapter Introduction | |
69 | |
70 When working in software projects using C++, I frequently missed | |
71 software support for two things: | |
72 | |
73 @itemize @bullet | |
74 @item | |
75 When you get a new class library, or you have to work on source code you | |
76 haven't written yourself (or written sufficiently long ago), you need a | |
77 tool to let you navigate class hierarchies and investigate | |
78 features of the software. Without such a tool you often end up | |
79 @command{grep}ing through dozens or even hundreds of files. | |
80 | |
81 @item | |
82 Once you are productive, it would be nice to have a tool that knows your | |
83 sources and can help you while you are editing source code. Imagine to | |
84 be able to jump to the definition of an identifier while you are | |
85 editing, or something that can complete long identifier names because it | |
86 knows what identifiers are defined in your program@dots{}. | |
87 @end itemize | |
88 | |
89 The design of Ebrowse reflects these two needs. | |
90 | |
91 How does it work? | |
92 | |
93 @cindex parser for C++ sources | |
94 A fast parser written in C is used to process C++ source files. | |
95 The parser generates a data base containing information about classes, | |
96 members, global functions, defines, types etc.@: found in the sources. | |
97 | |
98 The second part of Ebrowse is a Lisp program. This program reads | |
99 the data base generated by the parser. It displays its contents in | |
100 various forms and allows you to perform operations on it, or do | |
101 something with the help of the knowledge contained in the data base. | |
102 | |
103 @cindex major modes, of Ebrowse buffers | |
104 @dfn{Navigational} use of Ebrowse is centered around two | |
105 types of buffers which define their own major modes: | |
106 | |
107 @cindex tree buffer | |
108 @dfn{Tree buffers} are used to view class hierarchies in tree form. | |
109 They allow you to quickly find classes, find or view class declarations, | |
110 perform operations like query replace on sets of your source files, and | |
111 finally tree buffers are used to produce the second buffer form---member | |
112 buffers. @xref{Tree Buffers}. | |
113 | |
114 @cindex member buffer | |
115 Members are displayed in @dfn{member buffers}. Ebrowse | |
116 distinguishes between six different types of members; each type is | |
117 displayed as a member list of its own: | |
118 | |
119 @itemize @bullet | |
120 @item | |
121 Instance member variables; | |
122 | |
123 @item | |
124 Instance member functions; | |
125 | |
126 @item | |
127 Static member variables; | |
128 | |
129 @item | |
130 Static member functions; | |
131 | |
132 @item | |
133 Friends/Defines. The list of defines is contained in the friends | |
134 list of the pseudo-class @samp{*Globals*}; | |
135 | |
136 @item | |
137 Types (@code{enum}s, and @code{typedef}s defined with class | |
138 scope).@refill | |
139 @end itemize | |
140 | |
141 You can switch member buffers from one list to another, or to another | |
142 class. You can include inherited members in the display, you can set | |
143 filters that remove categories of members from the display, and most | |
144 importantly you can find or view member declarations and definitions | |
145 with a keystroke. @xref{Member Buffers}. | |
146 | |
147 These two buffer types and the commands they provide support the | |
148 navigational use of the browser. The second form resembles Emacs' Tags | |
149 package for C and other procedural languages. Ebrowse's commands of | |
150 this type are not confined to special buffers; they are most often used | |
151 while you are editing your source code. | |
152 | |
153 To list just a subset of what you can use the Tags part of Ebrowse for: | |
154 | |
155 @itemize @bullet | |
156 @item | |
157 Jump to the definition or declaration of an identifier in your source | |
158 code, with an electric position stack that lets you easily navigate | |
159 back and forth. | |
160 | |
161 @item | |
162 Complete identifiers in your source with a completion list containing | |
163 identifiers from your source code only. | |
164 | |
165 @item | |
166 Perform search and query replace operations over some or all of your | |
167 source files. | |
168 | |
169 @item | |
170 Show all identifiers matching a regular expression---and jump to one of | |
171 them, if you like. | |

181 @cindex @command{ebrowse}, the program | |
182 @cindex class data base creation | |
183 Before you can start browsing a class hierarchy, you must run the parser | |
184 @command{ebrowse} on your source files in order to generate a Lisp data | |
185 base describing your program. | |
186 | |
187 @cindex command line for @command{ebrowse} | |
188 The operation of @command{ebrowse} can be tailored with command line | |
189 options. Under normal circumstances it suffices to let the parser use | |
190 its default settings. If you want to do that, call it with a command | |
191 line like: | |
192 | |
193 @example | |
194 ebrowse *.h *.cc | |
195 @end example | |
196 | |
197 @noindent | |
198 or, if your shell doesn't allow all the file names to be specified on | |
199 the command line, | |
200 | |
201 @example | |
202 ebrowse --files=@var{file} | |
203 @end example | |
204 | |
205 @noindent | |
206 where @var{file} contains the names of the files to be parsed, one | |
207 per line. | |
208 | |
209 @findex --help | |
210 When invoked with option @samp{--help}, @command{ebrowse} prints a list of | |
211 available command line options.@refill | |

229 @cindex input files, for @command{ebrowse} | |
230 @item file | |
231 Each file name on the command line tells @command{ebrowse} to parse | |
232 that file. | |
233 | |
234 @cindex response files | |
235 @findex --files | |
236 @item --files=@var{file} | |
237 This command line switch specifies that @var{file} contains a list of | |
238 file names to parse. Each line in @var{file} must contain one file | |
239 name. More than one option of this kind is allowed. You might, for | |
240 instance, want to use one file for header files, and another for source | |
241 files. | |
242 | |
243 @cindex standard input, specifying input files | |
244 @item standard input | |
245 When @command{ebrowse} finds no file names on the command line, and no | |
246 @samp{--file} option is specified, it reads file names from standard | |
247 input. This is sometimes convenient when @command{ebrowse} is used as part | |
248 of a command pipe. | |
249 | |
250 @findex --search-path | |
251 @item --search-path=@var{paths} | |
252 This option lets you specify search paths for your input files. | |
253 @var{paths} is a list of directory names, separated from each other by a | |
254 either a colon or a semicolon, depending on the operating system. | |
255 @end table | |
256 | |
257 @cindex header files | |
258 @cindex friend functions | |
259 It is generally a good idea to specify input files so that header files | |
260 are parsed before source files. This facilitates the parser's work of | |
261 properly identifying friend functions of a class. | |

271 @findex --output-file | |
272 @cindex @file{BROWSE} file | |
273 @item --output-file=@var{file} | |
274 This option instructs @command{ebrowse} to generate a Lisp data base with | |
275 name @var{file}. By default, the data base is named @file{BROWSE}, and | |
276 is written in the directory in which @command{ebrowse} is invoked. | |
277 | |
278 If you regularly use data base names different from the default, you | |
279 might want to add this to your init file: | |
280 | |
281 @lisp | |
282 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(@var{NAME} . ebrowse-tree-mode)) | |
283 @end lisp | |
284 | |

286 where @var{NAME} is the Lisp data base name you are using. | |
287 | |
288 @findex --append | |
289 @cindex appending output to class data base | |
290 @item --append | |
291 By default, each run of @command{ebrowse} erases the old contents of the | |
292 output file when writing to it. You can instruct @command{ebrowse} to | |
293 append its output to an existing file produced by @command{ebrowse} | |
294 with this command line option. | |

309 This switch suppresses all classes in the data base declared as | |
310 @code{struct} or @code{union} in the output. | |
311 | |
312 This is mainly useful when you are converting an existing | |
313 C program to C++, and do not want to see the old C structs in a class | |
314 tree. | |

322 @section Regular Expressions | |
323 | |
324 @cindex regular expressions, recording | |
325 The parser @command{ebrowse} normally writes regular expressions to its | |
326 output file that help the Lisp part of Ebrowse to find functions, | |
327 variables etc.@: in their source files. | |
328 | |
329 You can instruct @command{ebrowse} to omit these regular expressions by | |
330 calling it with the command line switch @samp{--no-regexps}. | |
331 | |
332 When you do this, the Lisp part of Ebrowse tries to guess, from member | |
333 or class names, suitable regular expressions to locate that class or | |
334 member in source files. This works fine in most cases, but the | |
335 automatic generation of regular expressions can be too weak if unusual | |
336 coding styles are used. | |
337 | |
338 @table @samp | |
339 @findex --no-regexps | |
340 @item --no-regexps | |
341 This option turns off regular expression recording. | |
342 | |
343 @findex --min-regexp-length | |
344 @cindex minimum regexp length for recording | |
345 @item --min-regexp-length=@var{n} | |
346 The number @var{n} following this option specifies the minimum length of | |
347 the regular expressions recorded to match class and member declarations | |
348 and definitions. The default value is set at compilation time of | |
349 @command{ebrowse}. | |
350 | |
351 The smaller the minimum length, the higher the probability that | |
352 Ebrowse will find a wrong match. The larger the value, the | |
353 larger the output file and therefore the memory consumption once the | |
354 file is read from Emacs. | |
355 | |
356 @findex --max-regexp-length | |
357 @cindex maximum regexp length for recording | |
358 @item --max-regexp-length=@var{n} | |
359 The number following this option specifies the maximum length of the | |
360 regular expressions used to match class and member declarations and | |
361 definitions. The default value is set at compilation time of | |
362 @command{ebrowse}. | |
363 | |
364 The larger the maximum length, the higher the probability that the | |
365 browser will find a correct match, but the larger the value the larger | |
366 the output file and therefore the memory consumption once the data is | |
367 read. As a second effect, the larger the regular expression, the higher | |
368 the probability that it will no longer match after editing the file. | |

418 when you move the mouse over them. This highlight marks mouse-sensitive | |
419 regions in the buffer. Please notice the help strings in the echo area | |
420 when the mouse moves over a sensitive region. | |
421 | |
422 @cindex context menu | |
423 A click with @kbd{Mouse-3} on a mouse-sensitive region opens a context | |

442 Class trees are displayed in @dfn{tree buffers} which install their own | |
443 major mode. Most Emacs keys work in tree buffers in the usual way, | |
444 e.g.@: you can move around in the buffer with the usual @kbd{C-f}, | |
445 @kbd{C-v} etc., or you can search with @kbd{C-s}. | |
446 | |
447 Tree-specific commands are bound to simple keystrokes, similar to | |
448 @code{Gnus}. You can take a look at the key bindings by entering | |
449 @kbd{?} which calls @code{M-x describe-mode} in both tree and member | |
450 buffers. | |

503 @cindex member lists, in tree buffers | |
504 | |
505 Ebrowse distinguishes six different kinds of members, each of | |
506 which is displayed as a separate @dfn{member list}: instance variables, | |
507 instance functions, static variables, static functions, friend | |
508 functions, and types. | |
509 | |
510 Each of these lists can be displayed in a member buffer with a command | |
511 starting with @kbd{L} when the cursor is on a class name. By default, | |
512 there is only one member buffer named @dfn{*Members*} that is reused | |
513 each time you display a member list---this has proven to be more | |
514 practical than to clutter up the buffer list with dozens of member | |
515 buffers. | |
516 | |
517 If you want to display more than one member list at a time you can | |
518 @dfn{freeze} its member buffer. Freezing a member buffer prevents it | |
519 from being overwritten the next time you display a member list. You can | |
520 toggle this buffer status at any time. | |
521 | |
522 Every member list display command in the tree buffer can be used with a | |
523 prefix argument (@kbd{C-u}). Without a prefix argument, the command will | |
524 pop to a member buffer displaying the member list. With prefix argument, | |
525 the member buffer will additionally be @dfn{frozen}. | |
526 | |
527 @table @kbd | |
528 @cindex instance member variables, list | |
529 @item L v | |
530 This command displays the list of instance member variables. | |
531 | |
532 @cindex static variables, list | |
533 @item L V | |
534 Display the list of static variables. | |
535 | |
536 @cindex friend functions, list | |
537 @item L d | |
538 Display the list of friend functions. This list is used for defines if | |
539 you are viewing the class @samp{*Globals*} which is a place holder for | |
540 global symbols. | |
541 | |
542 @cindex member functions, list | |
543 @item L f | |
544 Display the list of member functions. | |
545 | |
546 @cindex static member functions, list | |

793 @dfn{Member buffers} are used to operate on lists of members of a class. | |
794 Ebrowse distinguishes six kinds of lists: | |
795 | |
796 @itemize @bullet | |
797 @item | |
798 Instance variables (normal member variables); | |
799 @item | |
800 Instance functions (normal member functions); | |

803 @item | |
804 Static member functions; | |
805 @item | |
806 Friend functions; | |
807 @item | |
808 Types (@code{enum}s and @code{typedef}s defined with class scope. | |
809 Nested classes will be shown in the class tree like normal classes. | |
810 @end itemize | |
811 | |
812 Like tree buffers, member buffers install their own major mode. Also | |
813 like in tree buffers, menus are provided for certain areas in the | |
814 buffer: members, classes, and the buffer itself. | |
815 | |
816 @menu | |
817 * Switching Member Lists:: Choosing which members to display | |
818 * Finding/Viewing:: Modifying source code | |

1265 The functions in this section are similar to those described in | |
1266 @ref{Source Display}, and also in @ref{Finding/Viewing}, except that | |
1267 they work in a C++ source buffer, not in member and tree buffers created | |

1273 function with a prefix argument, the declaration is searched. | |
1274 | |
1275 If more than one class contains a member with the given name you can | |
1276 select the class with completion. If there is a scope declaration in | |
1277 front of the member name, this class name is used as initial input for | |
1278 the completion. | |

1319 @cindex position stack | |
1320 | |
1321 When jumping to a member declaration or definition with one of | |
1322 Ebrowse's commands, the position from where you performed the | |
1323 jump and the position where you jumped to are recorded in a | |
1324 @dfn{position stack}. There are several ways in which you can quickly | |
1325 move to positions in the stack:@refill | |
1326 | |
1327 @table @kbd | |
1328 @cindex return to original position | |
1329 @item C-c C-m - | |
1330 This command sets point to the previous position in the position stack. | |
1331 Directly after you performed a jump, this will put you back to the | |
1332 position where you came from. | |
1333 | |
1334 The stack is not popped, i.e.@: you can always switch back and forth | |
1335 between positions in the stack. To avoid letting the stack grow to | |
1336 infinite size there is a maximum number of positions defined. When this | |
1337 number is reached, older positions are discarded when new positions are | |
1338 pushed on the stack. | |
1339 | |
1340 @item C-c C-m + | |
1341 This command moves forward in the position stack, setting point to | |
1342 the next position stored in the position stack. | |
1343 | |
1344 @item C-c C-m p | |
1345 Displays an electric buffer showing all positions saved in the stack. | |
1346 You can select a position by pressing @kbd{SPC} in a line. You can | |
1347 view a position with @kbd{v}. | |

1360 Ebrowse allows you to perform operations on all or a subset of the files | |
1361 mentioned in a class tree. When you invoke one of the following | |
1362 functions and more than one class tree is loaded, you must choose a | |
1363 class tree to use from an electric tree menu. If the selected tree | |
1364 contains marked classes, the following commands operate on the files | |
1365 mentioned in the marked classes only. Otherwise all files in the class | |
1366 tree are used. | |
1367 | |

1370 This function performs a regular expression search in the chosen set of | |
1371 files. | |
1372 | |
1373 @item C-c C-m u | |
1374 This command performs a search for calls of a given member which is | |
1375 selected in the usual way with completion. | |
1376 | |
1377 @item C-c C-m % | |
1378 Perform a query replace over the set of files. | |
1379 | |
1380 @item C-c C-m , | |
1381 All three operations above stop when finding a match. You can restart | |
1382 the operation with this command. | |

1413 remember only part of a member name, and not its beginning. | |
1414 | |
1415 A special buffer is popped up containing all identifiers matching the | |
1416 regular expression, and what kind of symbol it is (e.g.@: a member | |
1417 function, or a type). You can then switch to this buffer, and use the | |
1418 command @kbd{C-c C-m f}, for example, to jump to a specific member. | |
