496050 - RFE: Allow users to click-to-expand macros

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, enhancement)

Description

It would be really nice if there was a link to expand Macros to what they actually were. As it stands now, lots of macros have macros nested in them, so it's kinda hard to really figure them out.

this is relatively hard, it's something that DXR is more likely to be able to get right.

it's probably possible to have mxr display recursive ident calls for each item it encounters.

One big problem is what to do with things which are of the form:

#if X
#define Y(r) Q((r),(r))
#else
#define Y(r) S((1+r),(1-r))
#endif

#define Z(a) P(a)+C(Y(a-4))

ident?i=Z

I imagine you don't want to hear this, but I'll say it anyhow: show both options! :)

Is the repo for mxr public? If so, how can I get it, I may one day want to try to get this done. This would be a huge help for me.
