[Hopefully not off-topic, I just wanted GNOME dev community to know about this tool]
This brief post is just to introduce gnome-codesearch
, which is a userscript that enhances the GNOME online C API by providing useful links to corresponding source code in the codesearch.debian.net service. You will find those links alongside any function
, macro
, signal
, property
or enum
symbol in the aforementioned GNOME online C API.
What’s more, once you are browsing the corresponding source file, you’ll notice that every function
or macro
call that you mouse-over will get auto-linked so you can quickly navigate to its source code too. This makes it a nice cross reference code browsing tool to navigate among the vast C source code indexed by the codesearch.debian.net service.
There’s a short demo video along with Installation instructions in the Project page:

Hopefully this script will make it a nice addition to GNOME developer’s toolbox.
