hi all,

i am curious to know what tools folks use while participating in largish e.g. > 30k loc in erlang ?

for example, is a cscope like cross-indexer or something with equivalent functionality available for erlang ?

also, what might be a good set of guide-lines to adhere to for these kind of projects ? i know, the question is kind of vague, but was hoping for folks in the trenches on what their thoughts might be ?

kind regards
anupam

Hi,
I worked with 600k loc in Erlang and we were using emacs with its Erlang mode and etags to index all the source files. You can index your source code recursively starting from the current directory with the following command:

find . -name "*.[he]rl" -print | etags -

This will produce TAGS file which you can then add in your .emacs file like this:

(setq tags-file-name "/home/michal/projects/TAGS")

To read more about emacs shortcuts used for tags read here:

Other commonly used tools include the profiler (fprof), the coverage analysis tool (cover), the Dyalizer (Type Checking), as well as some sort of build tools.
