Richard> 1/2 ;-) It's already there! Try Emacs with the latest Ada Mode on cs.nyu.edu:/pub/gnat. It contains a support mode for the gnat Xreferencer GNATF. Click with the mouse on an identifier, Emacs will place your cursor at its declaration. The tool knows everthing about overloading, record fields, etc. The current release 2.12 of the Ada Mode has a problem, if the xref information is not immidiately available (i.e. must be regenerated). This will be fixed in the upcoming 2.13. Richard> -- Richard G.
