How can we use Cscope to tell the difference between a
global
definition and a global struct member definition?
For example, if I have the following in a file:
int shoe_size;
struct person
{
char name;
char age;
char shoe_size;
}
Say I want to find the global definition of
"shoe_size". Currently,
cscope returns:
int shoe_size;
char shoe_size;
However, I really only want to know about the global
definition of
shoe_size, not the global struct "person"'s member
definitions. If
there were a lot of different structs that had a member
called
shoe_size, it ends up being a lot of data to sift
through before
obtaining the line that I want when using "Find this
global
definition".
Thanks!

This is not a bug --- it's just something cscope currently
doesn't do. So I reclassified this as a feature request.
In principle, this would be moderately easy to add. In the
database cscope.out, struct member definitions already are
flagged differently from global variables (their tag letter
is 'm', not 'g'). So it's just a matter of having both the
fullscreen and the line-oriented interface _display_ that
fact. I've begun doing that a while ago, but never quite
finished it. If it's enough to just display <member>
instead of <global> for these, that would be easy.
Displaying the actual name of the struct (or union, enum, or
class) this is a member of makes for a more demanding task
already. Handling anonymous structs intelligently may turn
it into truly hard one.
