The funny thing is; that sentence continues (on a new line) like: "friends are traced and the pointers, together with additional" So while it then has cross-references to a few functions, all 'friends' are left dangling. So what's the point of the cross-references? Also, 'make ctags' and follow tag (ctrl-] for fellow vim users) will get you to the function, no magic markup required. > But I do wonder if we > couldn't do it automatically with just a little bit of scripting work. > It's not to hard to recognize this_is_a_function(), after all.

That would be good; less markup is more. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
