After reading/skimming "essentials" and "kernel drivers", my favourite |
| 21 |
way is to use Code::Blocks, make an empty project and then recursively |
| 22 |
import all the kernel sources into it. |
| 23 |
It is big pile of source and import takes a few minutes, but being able |
| 24 |
to browse, search and jump effotlessly through the tree more than makes |
| 25 |
it wortwhile. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Caveat: C::B will crash during the import phase if during that time |
| 28 |
there is other program that significantly loads CPUs or if user |
| 29 |
generates gtk events by clicking on the program window. |
| 30 |
I suspect the cause for this in wxGTK, but haven't been able to pinpoint |
| 31 |
it. It's good enough for me at this time... |
