Hi Friends,
I have started learning rsync source code but I am finding very
difficult to go back and forth to find the execution flow. I could see
that rsync code is written in UNIX and the compilation is difficult.
Does anybody converted it into Windows Project so that we can open in
using Visual Studio IDE and it will be very simple to search for some
function and find the complete work flow.
Thanks,
Jignesh
RTFM ctags and cscope, or just create a project and put the sources into
it (not that I think the later will do you much good).

Personally, I find VS's cross reference to have deteriorated
considerably over the versions. VS6 had a cross reference that was tied
to the compiler's symbol tables. This worked excellent, as no amount of
preprocessor trickery would fool it. I much preferred it to ctags.
Somewhere between version 6 and version 9, MS switched to Intellisense
for cross referencing. My guess is that the VS6 version wouldn't cross
reference a project unless it could compile it, and people (or at least
MS's sales people) complained. As a result, the cross reference is much
less accurate and error prone, and I no longer see any advantage for it
over ctags and other tools available for Linux and Posix platforms.
