Environments for driver development.

Environments for driver development.

[Eliot Blennerhassett]

Hello,

I'd like to know what kind of developement environment
driver developers are using.

Currently I am just editing in xemacs, and using grep a
lot to find where various structures, functiosn and so
forth are defined.

Do you use an IDE, etags, doxygen etc?

I know that there is a Driver API document, but IMHO it
is only half - it documents the functions, but not the
data structures.   Are they documented anywhere?

(I have some specific questions that I will address in
a separate posting)

thanks

- Eliot

some functions are described in kernel-doc (javadoc like) style in the
driver code.
