to Kythe
Hi, I recently setup Kythe on a large C++ project I have, it can load everything fine, but I am trying to work through the use-cases I had in mind. My trouble is figuring out the ticket or ID for the class/function. Once I have that, it is easy to get the declaration/definition, all of the references, and all of its children, which is awesome. But I am having trouble doing that initial lookup. My ideal setup would allow for fuzzy matching on identifiers. I am currently unsure how to lookup an identifier even if I knew the fully qualified name. I can use kwazthis when I know the file details for the variable. In my eyes there are roughly 4 ways a user would get to node, the user click within the source code wants to get details (
kwazthis handles this case), the user navigates from another node (xrefs / edges handles this well), the user scrolls through a list of all nodes in a file (decor handles this well), a user just types in a box to find a class definition or function definition (I thought kythe identifier would handle this but I get nothing back at least for my c++ code)
