Details
Look at any of these mxr function searches: http://mxr.mozilla.org/security/ident?i=CERT_DecodeCertFromPackage http://mxr.mozilla.org/security/ident?i=CERT_DecodeCertPackage Observe that these pages report that there are MANY places where the symbol name is "Defined as a function prototype", but few or NO places where the symbols name is referenced. But most of these citations that claim to be defining the symbol as a prototype are, in fact, references. Now contrast those results with the results from lxr. http://lxr.mozilla.org/security/ident?i=CERT_DecodeCertFromPackage http://lxr.mozilla.org/security/ident?i=CERT_DecodeCertPackage lxr gets the prototype definitions and references exactly right. I don't want to see lxr go away until mxr works as well as lxr does. This bug is proof by example that it does not.

Timeless, "the = sign"? Do You mean the fact that the function returns value that is assigned to a variable? Surely that's rather common.

mxr is gone, mass closing.
https://searchfox.org/ is a much better alternative.
