#7 function index (speedbar)
I use the speedbar in xemacs alot to help be jump
straight down to a function in a source file. Well i
actually map it to the mouse...but it would be nice
to have a speebar (html frame) on the the left or
right hand side of the source file which has links to
all of the functions declared in a source file.
presumably this information is already parsed in a
manner that you know it is a function def. this
could be ignored in header files or contain the index
of typedefs and #defines or something.

Wouldn't be hard. The sql to find all the symbols defined
in a file is:
select s.symname, i.line, d.declaration from indexes i,
symbols s, declarations d, files f where s.symi
d=i.symid and i.type = d.declid and i.fileid=f.fileid and
f.filename = "filename";
From there, it should be easy to spin some HTML and links
round the results and shove it in a sidebar. Presumably
this would be linked off the source script, so that it would
first generate the source listing, and then add the sidebar
panel.

<Edna Most> No Frames! </Edna Most>
Frames are a horrible, horrible invention and should be banned from the web forever. And even longer.
Having a function list is not a bad idea, but a simple drop-down box will work. Or, if we really want something on the sidebar, please use CSS/tables.
BTW, in the SQL query provided by mbox, why check both the fileid AND the filename? It seems like just the fileid would be sufficient (and a lot faster!)
This indeed would be nice, but it needs much improvement on ctags. From recent tests (September 2012), ctags has a lot of trouble finding identifiers in languages other then C family.
