New Linux Cross Reference (LXR) site

New Linux Cross Reference (LXR) site

[Michael Opdenacker]

Hello,

As the number of such sites is still very small, I set up a new LXR 
site: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/

At last, it's an up to date site with an easy to remember URL.

Other LXR sites can be found on 
http://free-electrons.com/community/kernel/lxr . Let me know if you know 
other such sites!

    Cheers,

    Michael.

You obviously use a quite recent lxr version. Which one? I have a
number of projects still referenced via lxr 0.3.1 because it's easy to
maintain and does not require a bunch of additional software. Maybe I
should really update...

Recently I started to experiment with OpenGrok
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/opengrok), also for kernel
trees. Quite easy to handle, and I was enthusiastic about it first.
But it is not yet as robust as the lxr behind your site (reference
links are occasionally missing in the code), it's history mechanism is
not comparable to lxr's versioning, and arch-switching is lacking.

/Right! I am using the latest version (0.9.5)./

Thanks for the tip! I will keep an eye on this new tool too...

    Cheers,

Seems to be highly interwoven mit the used SCM system and thus does
also do some tasks like searching in the commit messages etc., so its
scope is a bit different than that of LXR.  Also, it's not GPLed.
