`mkid' is a simple, fast, high-capacity, language-independent
|
|
identifier database tool. Actually, the term `identifier' is too
|
|
limiting--`mkid' stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any
|
|
form, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. Database
|
|
queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs,
|
|
serving as an augmented tags facility.
|
|
|
|
`mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary <gkm@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
|
|
and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987. It was then
|
|
maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the
|
|
Internet led by Tom Horsley <Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com>. Tom released
|
|
`mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in March, 1991. Since then, Greg McGary
|
|
has resumed maintenance and is releasing an improved version 3 under GPL.
|
|
|
|
Version 3 is an interim release. Version 4 will follow in the coming
|
|
months and include a cscope clone plus other improvements. This
|
|
version is an improved version of version 3 (which hasn't been updated
|
|
since 1996!), it now understands C++.
