HOW TO USE CODEQUERY WITH C/C++ CODE?

  1. Change directory to the base folder of your source code like this:
cd ~/projects/myproject/src
  1. Create a cscope.files file with all the C/C++ source files listed in it. Files with inline assembly code should be excluded from this list.
find . -iname "*.c"    > ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.cpp" >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.cxx" >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.cc " >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.h"   >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.hpp" >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.hxx" >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.hh " >> ./cscope.files
  1. Create a cscope database like this (add k, if you don't want standard include paths like for stdio.h):
cscope -cb
  1. Create a ctags database like this.
ctags --fields=+i -n -L ./cscope.files
  1. Run cqmakedb to create a CodeQuery database out of the cscope and ctags databases, like this:
cqmakedb -s ./myproject.db -c ./cscope.out -t ./tags -p
  1. Open myproject.db using the CodeQuery GUI tool by running the following. Wild card search (* and ?) supported if Exact Match is switched off. Or use cqsearch, the CLI-version of CodeQuery (type cqsearch -h for more info).
codequery

Use cqmakedb -h to get help on cqmakedb command line arguments.

HOW TO USE CODEQUERY WITH JAVA CODE?

  1. Change directory to the base folder of your source code like this:
cd ~/projects/myproject/src
  1. Create a cscope.files file with all the Java source files listed in it.
find . -iname "*.java" > ./cscope.files
  1. Create a cscope database like this:
cscope -cb
  1. Create a ctags database like this:
ctags --fields=+i -n -L ./cscope.files
  1. Run cqmakedb to create a CodeQuery database out of the cscope and ctags databases, like this:
cqmakedb -s ./myproject.db -c ./cscope.out -t ./tags -p
  1. Open myproject.db using the CodeQuery GUI tool by running the following. Wild card search (* and ?) supported if Exact Match is switched off. Or use cqsearch, the CLI-version of CodeQuery (type cqsearch -h for more info).

HOW TO USE CODEQUERY WITH PYTHON CODE?

If you want to browse Python code, don't forget to install pycscope. Information on how to install this tool is available on its github page.

  1. Change directory to the base folder of your source code like this:
cd ~/projects/myproject/src
  1. Create a cscope.files file with all the Python source files listed in it.
find . -iname "*.py"    > ./cscope.files
  1. Create a cscope database like this:
pycscope -i ./cscope.files
  1. Create a ctags database like this.
ctags --fields=+i -n -L ./cscope.files
  1. Run cqmakedb to create a CodeQuery database out of the cscope and ctags databases, like this:
cqmakedb -s ./myproject.db -c ./cscope.out -t ./tags -p
  1. Open myproject.db using the CodeQuery GUI tool by running the following. Wild card search (* and ?) supported if Exact Match is switched off. Or use cqsearch, the CLI-version of CodeQuery (type cqsearch -h for more info).

Use cqmakedb -h to get help on cqmakedb command line arguments.

HOW TO USE CODEQUERY WITH RUBY, GO AND JAVASCRIPT CODE?

If you want to browse Ruby, Go or Javascript code, don't forget to install starscope. Information on how to install this tool is available on its github page.

  1. Change directory to the base folder of your source code like this:
cd ~/projects/myproject/src
  1. Create a cscope.files file with all the Ruby, Go or Javascript source files listed in it.
find . -iname "*.rb"    > ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.go"    >> ./cscope.files
find . -iname "*.js"    >> ./cscope.files
  1. Create a cscope database like this:
starscope -e cscope
  1. Create a ctags database like this.
ctags --fields=+i -n -L ./cscope.files
  1. Run cqmakedb to create a CodeQuery database out of the cscope and ctags databases, like this:
cqmakedb -s ./myproject.db -c ./cscope.out -t ./tags -p
  1. Open myproject.db using the CodeQuery GUI tool by running the following. Wild card search (* and ?) supported if Exact Match is switched off. Or use cqsearch, the CLI-version of CodeQuery (type cqsearch -h for more info).
