== Task List ==
==What is DXR?==
* Start doing continuous re-indexing of the tree
* <strike>Switch to using http get for searches</strike> Completed.
* Show Classname:: as part of member sidebar on the right
* Make search results clickable anywhere vs. just on line number
* When searching of nsFoo, display a little summary of the class bases,derived, members
* Add links for #include header files
* Add derived/parent class info to source-view
* Searching for filenames should work for fullnames vs. initial portions (e.g., nsGlobal or nsGlobalWindow vs. nsGlobalWindow.cpp)
* Add support for C source
* Fix pop-up position so it isn't off the screen
* Fix Users query so it includes uses of the type directly in addition to uses of derived types (e.g., nsIFoo might have direct users if not an idl type)
* Change sort order of members in sidebar panel so it is alphabetical
* Tokenize macros so that embedded macros are clickable (e.g., NS_ProcessNextEvent resolves to NS_ProcessNextEvent_P)
* Investigate ways to deal with naming collisions.  For example, where types, methods, or macros share the same name, sometimes we pick the wrong one for purposes of linkifying (e.g., NS_ProcessNextEvent). 
* Make IDL pages, and other decl locations do a better job at providing links
* Add more query options to search page (e.g., looking for implementations)
* Add support for JS source
* Finish xpidl_xref so all parts of XPIDL are parsed (eg. c++ fragments, typedefs)
* Add Macro decl locations
* Add support for Obj-C/C++ source
* Integrate callgraph
* Show compiler warnings


* Improve post-processing speed, investigate better parallelism
DXR is a two things.  First, it’s a method for collecting type, member, statement, macro, etc. information about C++, IDL, and soon JavaScript using Mozilla’s static analysis tools (e.g., Dehydra), a hacked build system, and a bunch of scripts.  Second, it’s a web-based tool for mapping this information back onto source code, and allowing users to query and look-up this information.
* Investigate strategy for increment re-indexing vs. full clobbers
 
* Audit web app for security
You can read more about it [http://vocamus.net/dave/?p=557 here].
* Fix srcdir vs. objdir links (e.g., PRInt32)
 
* Remove .html from source file names (mod_rewrite?)
DXR was written and is being actively developed by David Humphrey.
* Add support for html/xml, perhaps with links to MDC doc pages

Project Information

  • Any pre-requisites needed (technology, server capacity, staffing, monitoring, response time, etc): Machine is expected to compile Mozilla continuously in order to produce the index, so should have 8gb ram, quadcore cpu.
  • External dependencies: None
  • Dev environment specs: No clue what goes here
  • Does this project use any plugins or proprietary technology: No, it's pure awesome.

What is DXR?

DXR is a two things. First, it’s a method for collecting type, member, statement, macro, etc. information about C++, IDL, and soon JavaScript using Mozilla’s static analysis tools (e.g., Dehydra), a hacked build system, and a bunch of scripts. Second, it’s a web-based tool for mapping this information back onto source code, and allowing users to query and look-up this information.

You can read more about it here.

DXR was written and is being actively developed by David Humphrey.

Bugs can be filed using Mozilla's Bugzilla with Product:WebTools and Component:DXR

Mozilla Roll-out Task List

  • Deploy DXR at Mozilla - bug 524725
  • Dave to update DXR hg repo with latest callgraph code
  • Tweak installation and indexing system for use by Mozilla
  • Make dxr scripts path agnostic and more portable (python path stuff)
