Source Insight Feature [message #163964]

Hello ,

I am using Source Insight currently. I use it mainly for browsing Linux
Kernel Source. I have installed Eclipse + CDT to start using Eclipse.

In Source Insight there is a feature where if you place the mouse cursor
on a variable a window that is docked at the bottom automatically searches
and pulls the file that has the definition of variable.

In eclipse I need to right click and

Is there a similar feature in eclipse ?

Thanks in advance,
Sudhir

I have not found such a feature in CDT. However, I have been thinking to
provide such a feature in CDT so I have planned to write a plugin for it. I
have only done error parser plugin so far but I will try. That is the most
beatiful thing I love in Eclipse. If not exist, do it yourself easily using
eclipse features:)

We only need a view which consists of a read only editor whose content will
be the definition or declaration of the under cursor at main editor. Maybe
it is possible to get F3 or CTRL+F3 output into our new view. Then double
clicking on that view will open the file.

I hope I will have a time for this. Or I hope anyone will do it before I do
:)

Cheers,
Burak
