如何在搜索过程中使cscope显示完整的文件路径

Question

When I search for a C symbol or global definition using cscope , it displays the file-names and line numbers. I would like to see the full file-paths so that I can jump to my arch specific file. For example, when searching for global definition of __switch_to on cscope build on Linux code-base, I get:

Global definition: __switch_to

  File         Line
0 process.c    297 struct task_struct *__switch_to(struct task_struct *prev,
1 switch_to.h   44 #define __switch_to(prev,next,last) do { \
2 process.c    202 struct task_struct *__switch_to(struct task_struct *old,
3 process.c    400 struct task_struct *__switch_to(struct task_struct *prev,
4 process_32.c 211 __switch_to(struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next)
5 process.c     80 void *__switch_to(struct task_struct *from, struct task_struct *to)
6 process_32.c 248 __switch_to(struct task_struct *prev_p, struct task_struct *next_p)
7 process_64.c 272 __switch_to(struct task_struct *prev_p, struct task_struct *next_p)

Now, the file process.c is different for each arch . How to make cscope display the full file-paths?

Answer 1

Run cscope with args -pn

-pn Display the last n file path components instead of the default (1). Use 0 not to display the file name at all.

Running with cscope -p4 and searching for global definition of __switch_to results in

Global definition: __switch_to
