cscope in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own cscope package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so cscope should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • cscope
  • cscope-indexer
  • ocs

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Linters, formatters and language servers run on the device's own processor, and editors on the Linux desktop or in the Terminal can call them as they would on a Linux PC. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About cscope

From Debian's package description

Cscope is an interactive text screen based source browsing tool. Although it is primarily designed to search C code (including lex and yacc files), it can also be used for C++ code.

Using cscope, you can easily search for where symbols are used and defined. Cscope is designed to answer questions like:

  • Where is this variable used?
  • What is the value of this preprocessor symbol?
  • Where is this function in the source files?
  • What functions call this function?
  • What functions are called by this function?
  • Where does the message "out of space" come from?
  • Where is this source file in the directory structure?
  • What files include this header file?

From Debian's description of the cscope package, under that package's license.
