MIME-Version: 1.0 NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2000 14:57:09 PST Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 2000-03-02T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: I was actually thinking of in my own code (so I could answer the question "Now where did I get that from?"). I suppose that this should be commented, so that I'll later remember that it was used (in which case I could stick the label in the comment). A good cross-reference tool would be better, but I haven't seen one recently. (Probably because programs/libraries have gotten too voluminous for them to handle properly.) I suppose what's really needed is something like a smarter version of JavaDoc. Of course an integrated tool like genitor would be nice, but it needs to be tuned to one language (C++ of course) and is a trifle too expensive for my pocket-book (which runs more to the Source-Navigator level [again tied to C++]). The trouble is that any tool that can tell enough to figure out where a link comes from, needs enough built in knowledge to be pretty expensive to build, so unless AdaCore starts including it in the GNAT package, I'm unlikely to be able to afford it (which is why the tools I *am* aware of target C++).
