What is Cscope for Windows?

Cscope for Windows

In the eventuality that you need to modify code you wrote or edit some part provided by others, then you already know that sometimes you find yourself greping headers for types, function declarations, so on and so forth. To avoid such complicated code navigation, you should consider using a code browsing tool.

Cscope for Windows is a utility designed specifically for this purpose and that was part of the official AT&T Unix distribution for many years. According to the developer, it has been successfully used to manage very large projects that involved over 20 million lines of code.

Among the highlights of the application, you can count the advanced search function that enables you to perform queries for all references to a symbol, global definitions, functions called or calling a function, text strings, files, files including files or regular expression patterns.

It is worth mentioning that while the app is designed to work the C programming language, it is flexible enough to be used with C++ and Java code as well. Moreover, the developer states it can come in handy for a generalized grep database that you can employ to navigate large text documents. This is because the program builds the symbol cross-reference the first time it is used on the source files and, on other uses, it simply rebuilds the reference only.
