I wondered if anyone can add any interesting information about using
cscope on their projects or anything about its development.
I used it a bit when coming up with FreeBSD kernel development 8 or so
years ago. These days I just tend to use 'ripgrep' which has been a
game changer for me when working across the repo sprawls of a
corporation.. having outrageous speed and not having to maintain an
index is really the winning ticket for my millennial brain.
