Index/concordance for CEF + Chromium source?

Postby HarmlessDave » Tue Oct 17, 2017 4:22 pm

Hi all,

We plan to start looking at the CEF and Chromium source instead of treating them as a black box, so that we can improve our integration with them. We have to hack around some things like shutdown glitches, and understanding the details might let us change our code, let us suggest patches to fit our use cases, or as a last resort make minor changes to the source that we'll need to keep re-doing for new versions.

Since there are thousands of files a tool like grep is going to be of limited use when tracing through a web of connections in the code. Does anyone know of a tool for building a map / index / concordance from words (variables, functions) to files and line numbers in a snapshot of the source?

https://cs.chromium.org does a good job for the Chromium source. CEF source is small so you could just use git grep there.

Thanks, that looks much easier than setting up some of the client-server packages I've found on my desktop.
