The annotate (aka blame) functionality of hg.mozilla.org can point at one line, e.g.: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/c2da34d96746288b5fee27bf6542a12c9f410988/dom/media/platforms/PDMFactory.cpp#l126 (Hash, lowercase 'L', line number) I've opened https://bugzil.la/1282329 requesting that DXR generates these as recommended permalinks -- Hope you like it. :-) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
