an xref Suggestion

[William Gacquer]

Hello,
	Kdevelop gets nicer everyday! That's great. But It is seriously
missing a symbol/cross-references browser. I have had a look at a few tools
that can do that but they are all missing something. I have just found a
very good one : gcc.
	Yes, gcc is indeed able to to export a table of cross-references and
symbols using the -fxref option. (For curious people who will try this
feature now, please know that by typing "gcc -c -fxref foo.c", it will
create a hidden ".foo.c.gxref" database. Hard to read but very complete!

	That would be a very good thing to have such features (symbol
browser and cross-referencer) in Kdevelop, isn't-it? These feature are
already in Sniff+ and in source-navigator (that's in fact the heart of these
products). I believe that having it in kdevelop would be very usefull.
	What do you think of my suggestion?

	William
