DXR, David Humphrey’s new tool for searching source code, looks really cool. It combines static analysis and source code search, so you can do things like search for the location where a variable or method call was declared or find the implementations of a method call. David has done a blog post and a video that describes features and usage. DXR searches either the mozilla-central or the comm-central tree.
The project is in early stages: right now DXR only works with C++ and IDL (JavaScript is in the works). Regardless, because of Thunderbird’s thin API documentation, tools like these are a huge help for Thunderbird developers.
