best C++ browser [was Re: emacs Vs Eclipse?]

[Kin Cho]

Hi,

I now have a need to browse thousands of lines of C++ code
written by someone else. Is ECB state of the art? I don't mind
paying for non-free software, as long as it integrates with
emacs.

Thanks.

Depends on what you mean with "state of the art"?
The best is you go to http://ecb.sf.net - look at the screenshots
and take a look into the online-documentation which describes pretty all what
ECB can do for you...

There is a software that I believe support refactoring and code
browsing that you can download and test from
http://www.xref.sk/xrefactory/license.html I believe that this program
integrates with ECB. Xrefactory C++ is non-free after test period.

Emacs 21 comes with ebrowse. I don't know how it stacks up, but you
could at least try it, since you most probably already have it...

Doging the state of the art, let's say that ECB is definitely very
good.

Just gave ebrowse a try. I wouldn't say I'm impressed by it.
The interface seems a bit non-intuitive.

I'll try ECB since it seems better judging by its screenshots.
