About:
CodeQuery is a cross-platform tool for browsing and searching source code. It builds a SQLite database from source code using cscope or ctags, enabling fast code navigation. It provides a GUI for exploring call graphs, definitions, and text patterns.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform GUI for code exploration
  • Supports C, C++, Java, Python, and more
  • Integrates with cscope and ctags for indexing
  • Fast search and call graph visualization
  • SQLite-based database for efficient storage
Use Cases:
  • Navigating large legacy codebases
  • Performing cross-referencing and impact analysis
  • Quickly finding function and variable definitions
Alternatives:
  • cscope – CodeQuery adds a modern GUI and richer visualization on top of cscope-style indexing.
  • global – Similar cross-referencing capabilities, but CodeQuery offers a more visual, IDE-like interface.
