Feb 23, 2015 · I created a cscope database using the command cscope -b -R -q, but emacs was returning 0 results for every lookup. Then I added (setq cscope-do-not-update-database t) to my .emacs and it started working. I looked into the description of the variable and it says that if the variable is non-nil it will never check/update the cscope database.

Oct 17, 2012 · Cscope is an all-in-one source code browsing tool for C language. It has own fine CUI (character user interface) and tag databases (cscope.in.out, cscope.out, cscope.po.out). You can use cscope from Emacs using xcscope.el which is part of cscope package. GNU GLOBAL is a source code tagging system.

Jun 14, 2013 · I want to use cscope in emacs. Due to my directory structure i only want to use files from certain subdirectories in the tree. In the shell i create my cscope.files list (includes a listing of all the source files i want) the i do: cscope -q -R -b -i cscope.files This will create the cscope.out file i want.

Dec 20, 2013 · I tried cscope and I don't have this problem: when in the cscope buffer, pressing «enter» takes me to the symbol definition. What is your version of emacs and evil ? I'm using the 1.0-dev installed with ELPA in Emacs24. (M-x evil-version) –

Oct 18, 2012 · What about the directory where cscope.files resides? IF you don't include those files, it'll only find them when you open your project (in emacs, but probably applicable to any IDE) in that source directory. So, include them, too, for easy opening of your project from anywhere. The option "recursive/-R" seems obvious to send to cscope-indexer.

Apr 6, 2011 · And then use it to "dedicate" the window you want locked. then cscope can only open files from its result window in some OTHER window. Works a charm. I specifically use it for exactly this purpose - keeping one source file always on screen, while using cscope in a second buffer/window, and looking at cscope results in a third.

Feb 17, 2013 · Even with a cscope.out and cscope.files present at the root of the project folder (also my current working directory), I got nothing from the same command and same symbol. I suspect that there is a scalability issue with the command. I also tried command . cat cscope.files | xargs cscope -d -L1 <symbol> -i to no avail. UPDATE. Extremely bizarre!

Feb 14, 2018 · I'm using Emacs 25 on Ubuntu 16.04, after a while spent on Emacs 24. One thing that I've noticed changed in version 25 is, cscope minor mode is not enabled by default when I edit C files, while it was in Emacs 24 (I also checked that this is the case with C-h m, cscope is indeed present in 24 but not 25).

Apr 15, 2014 · However, when I search for something with cscope and it opens up the other buffer, I can not follow the links where cscope tells me which file and line number the item is on. When I go t a line number and hit enter, emacs tells me 'buffer is read-only' (it is trying to actually put in a new line instead of following the link). anyone know how I ...

Mar 6, 2014 · I'm starting to experiment a bit with using emacs as my development envrionment and I am running into a bit of trouble. I wish to use cscope with semantic for a fairly robust way of searching throu...
