LXR Cross Referencer, usually known as LXR, is a general-purpose source code indexer and cross-referencer that provides web-based browsing of source code, with links to the definition and usage of any identifier. == History == LXR was born from a need for a tool to keep a synthetic eye on the Linux kernel during its development. Such a tool is all the more necessary as documentation is scarce and contributor number is high. Two Norwegian students, Arne Georg Gleditsch and Per Kristian Gjermshus, curious about Linux architecture, began writing a small program displaying its files through a web-browser and showing variables usages after a click on the name. Aware of general interest, they posted it rapidly on SourceForge (as early as 1994?〔). Time passing, fans joined the development team to give code more maturity; however their number never exceeded ten.〔See LXR project statistics at 〕 With these characteristics, LXR is a typical SourceForge-hosted project but exhibits an exceptional life duration among small projects. One of the initial creators explored new technologies giving the LXRng spin-off. This experimental development does not contain all features present in the traditional version and departs notably from LXR founding principles. Though no communication was really ever done around the tool, LXR made its way through some paper columns, e.g. ''Linux Journal''. However, when collecting references to LXR on the Internet, there is ambiguity between the tool itself and the software being displayed by LXR. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LXR Cross Referencer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
