I don't mean to be rude, but how? As far as I know the C preprocessor just takes C files and follows #directives (#define, #include, #ifdef, etc). It can't be used to search the C code for calls to a function and return the second argument to that function. You might be able to do something like this cpp file_to_look_at.c -DFunction_To_Look_For="***this is the func***" to make it easier to find instances of the function, but I don't think it makes it significantly easier. Now, if you had said use cbrowser (or cscope, which cbrowser is built on) I would been with you, but for the fact that the poster said he was using C++ and I remember those tools as being ANSI C only (they are probably ISO C only now). That said, there are many tools on the market that will help you analyze your C/C++ code for refactoring purposes. A quick Google search for "c call tree" should bring up a bunch, but the question was "can Perl do it", and I think the answer is yes, at least as easily as any other language can. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
