I am working with Visual Studio (2008 edition) for the first time. Used to programming in a Unix environment, I have become quite used to cscope and vim. For my current project, I really need cscope. I was wondering if there is any way I could use cscope on Visual Studio - or use cscope in Windows. Or if there is another tool which does this job.

  • What specific feature of cscope do you need? Looking at the feature list of cscope it looks like most of it is built into visual studio. – Sijin May 19 '10 at 15:08

    I am programming a plugin for Winamp - therefore I need to lookup functions in the Winamp SDK. (Minimum usage that I need from cscope). How to attain this in Visual Studio? For example, let's assume there is a function called DoMagic() - it is defined somewhere in the API - I don't know where. With cscope I can search all the files in the SDK for it - this is what I want to do with Visual Studio. – rahulthewall May 19 '10 at 15:24

You could try windows version of cscope.

As far as Visual Studio is concerned, I haven't seen anything as powerful as cscope in it.

The only way I found to install cscope on Windows was the mlcscope package in cygwin. With that, you could just use vim with Visual Studio.

As far as finding API functions in Visual Studio, you should be able to add the headers to your project so they're indexed by Intellisense.
