用emacs 阅读 c/c++ 代码

在emacs编程中有以下需求

• 从调用一个函数的地方跳转到函数的定义的地方
• 或是反过来从函数定义的地方列出所有调用这个函数的地方

实现办法

需要安装以下软件

• gnu global（阅读源代码的工具）
• emacs的gtags插件
• 启动emacs后，输入下面的命令，来启动gtags的功能

M-x ggtags-mode

gnu global安装

apt-get install global

emacs的gtags插件安装

M-x list-packages

找到ggtags后，鼠标点击，再点安装

使用方法

1，在存放代码的根目录执行：

$ gtags

执行后，会发现在生成了3个文件， GPATH GRTAGS GTAGS

2，启动emacs

3，启动emacs后，输入下面的命令，来启动gtags的功能

M-x ggtags-mode

4，使用下面的函数就可以实现，查看代码的各种需求了。

ggtags-find-tag-dwim

   Find a tag by context.

   If point is at a definition tag, find references, and vice versa.
   If point is at a line that matches ``ggtags-include-pattern``, find
   the include file instead.

   To force finding a definition tag, call it with a prefix (``C-u``).

ggtags-find-tag-mouse

   Like ``ggtags-find-tag-dwim`` but suitable for binding to mouse
   events.

ggtags-find-definition

   Find definition tags. With ``C-u`` ask for the tag name with
   completion.

ggtags-find-reference

   Find reference tags. With ``C-u`` ask for the tag name with completion.

ggtags-find-other-symbol

   Find tags that have no definitions. With ``C-u`` ask for the tag
   name with completion.

ggtags-find-tag-regexp

   Find definition tags matching a regexp. By default it lists all
   matching tags in the project. With ``C-u`` restrict the lists to a
   directory of choice.

ggtags-idutils-query

   Use idutils to find matches.

ggtags-grep

   Grep for lines matching a regexp. This is usually the slowest.

ggtags-find-file

   Find a file from all the files indexed by ``gtags``.

ggtags-query-replace

   Do a query replace in all files found in a search.

Handling multiple matches
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

When a search finds multiple matches, a buffer named
``*ggtags-global*`` is popped up and ``ggtags-navigation-mode`` is
turned on to facilitate locating the right match.
``ggtags-navigation-mode`` makes a few commands in the
``*ggtags-global*`` buffer globally accessible:

``M-n``

   Move to the next match.

``M-p``

   Move to the previous match.

``M-}``

   Move to next file.

``M-{``

   Move to previous file.

``M-=``

   Move to the file where navigation session starts.

``M-<``

   Move to the first match.

``M->``

   Move to the last match.

``C-M-s`` or ``M-s s``

   Use ``isearch`` to find the match.

``RET``

   Found the right match so exit navigation mode. Resumable by ``M-,``
   (``tags-loop-continue``).

``M-*``

   Abort and go back to the location where the search was started.

Miscellaneous commands
++++++++++++++++++++++

Commands are available from the ``Ggtags`` menu in ``ggtags-mode``.

ggtags-prev-mark

   Move to the previously (older) visited location. Unlike ``M-*``
   this doesn't delete the location from the tag ring.

ggtags-next-mark

   Move to the next (newer) visited location.

ggtags-view-tag-history

   Pop to a buffer listing all visited locations from newest to
   oldest. The buffer is a next error buffer and works with standard
   commands ``next-error`` and ``previous-error``. In addition ``TAB``
   and ``S-TAB`` move to next/prev entry, and ``RET`` visits the
   location. ``M-n`` and ``M-p`` move to and display the next/previous
   entry.

ggtags-view-search-history

   View or re-run past searches as kept in
   ``ggtags-global-search-history``.

ggtags-kill-file-buffers

   Kill all file-visiting buffers of current project.

ggtags-toggle-project-read-only

   Toggle opening files in ``read-only`` mode. Handy if the main
   purpose of source navigation is to read code.

ggtags-visit-project-root

   Open the project root directory in ``dired``.

ggtags-delete-tags

   Delete the GTAGS, GRTAGS, GPATH and ID files of current project.

ggtags-explain-tags

  Explain how each file is indexed in current project.

ggtags-browse-file-as-hypertext

   Use ``htags`` to generate HTML of the source tree. This allows
   browsing the project in a browser with cross-references.

使用举例

1，从调用一个函数的地方跳转到函数的定义的地方

M-x ggtags-find-definition

2，从调用一个函数的地方跳转到函数的定义的地方后，返回到调用函数的地方

M-x ggtags-prev-mark

3，或是反过来从函数定义的地方列出所有调用这个函数的地方

M-x ggtags-find-reference

4，查看导航过的历史记录

M-x ggtags-view-tag-history
