1. Cross reference
Hi all,
I don't know any cross-reference program for Euphoria. Sometimes it
would be useful for me, to have an overview by which routines another
routine is called, a list of all included files, a list of all global
variables, and maybe more. Is there such a program in the archieves?
I didn't find one.
Rob, I think the interpreter must have all this information internally
anyway, right? How about a new option, say "with xref", that would tell
the interpreter to write all cross-reference information into a text file?
Just an idea.
Regards,
Juergen

Look for Jeff Fielding's Pre-processor and
"List Routines" by D.B. James. There might be another
similar one somewhere.

I'll probably add something like that to the new front-end.
It's a bit easier to code those things in Euphoria.
Also the new front-end won't be bound into programs, so its size
is not as important.

Thanks. As far as I can see, both programs just create a plain list of
routine names. The lists do not show dependences of a routine on the
other ones, or any other cross-reference information.
I've started to write a little cross-reference program myself. ATM, if
I use it to parse e.g. "search.ex", the output is:
type boolean()
-- called by <main>, final_stats(), scan(), look_at()
function alphabetic()
-- called by final_stats(), <main>
function fast_lower()
-- called by scan(), <main>
...
That's what I mean.

That sounds very nice. When I first read about your "big plan", I
thought: "Hm, does that mean anything to me as the Euphoria programmer?".
Now I see that the new structure of Euphoria provides the basis for a
bunch of improvements. Great!
