KScope is a Cscope frontend. KScope provides a source-editing environment for large C projects, such as the Linux kernel. KScope is by no means intended to be a replacement to any of the leading Linux/KDE IDEs, such as KDevelop. First of all, it is not an Integrated Development Environment: it does not provide the usual write/compile/debug cycle supported by most IDEs. Instead, KScope is focused on source editing and analysis. The most important difference, however, between KScope and common IDEs is that KScope is intended for use with projects written in C, i.e., in a functional-programming environment. Most IDEs specialise in object-oriented languages and are of little help to the C programmer. For example, displaying all functions in the Linux kernel as global objects in a "Classes" tree does not provide any meaningful information. KScope, on the other hand, is built around an efficient mechanism for code-navigation, which allows the user to run queries on the code. The types of queries KScope can run include: - Get all references to a symbol - Find the definition of a symbol - Find all functions called by or calling to a function - Find an EGrep pattern - Find all files #including some file - etc. These queries are handled by an underlying Cscope process. KScope simply serves as a front-end to this process, feeding it with queries, and parsing its output into result lists. The items in those lists can later be selected to open an editor at the matching line..
