What features do you most use in MXR and DXR?
(Apologies for the late reply; didn't really check newsgroups during the
summit - bad wifi and having too much to do. Didn't about the design
session in SC for the same reason.)
I look up XPCOM interfaces a lot; as an example,
http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=nsIObserverService
doesn't seem very useful - the actual interface definition is near the
bottom. The various type/function/whatever forms in the advanced search
just returns nothing. (Other than the path search, of course, but not
all interfaces are files named after them.) The equivalent webidl
search would be something like
http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=HTMLBaseElement
(type:HTMLBaseElement finds no results).
++ on unifying identifier search (across types of identifiers), tree
switching, blame integration, rev pinning, etc - things already covered
by the wiki. (In roughly that order.)
