Summary: Indexing & Referencing Bug

Initial Comment:
Say, I change(or add) a file and run genxref on the 
source-tree.  

Genxref now indexes the file. But other files might also 
contain references to symbols defined in the changed 
file. First, all references to this file from all files have to 
be deleted. Then all files have to be referenced. This is 
not handled in any LXR version till now. 

In a way, this bug is related to my previous bug 
report "Indexing files once Indexed is buggy"

Correct.  Incremental indexes is hard to do.

The easiest solution, if your repository is small enough, is
to re-run the complete genxref regularly, so that the data
is not (too) out of date.

In general the problem you point out won't occur, because it
would be unusual to change a file to define a symbol in
other files without also editing/changing the other files.

I'm closing this as a duplicate of bug
