Then you want to search all uses of the Linux kernel's struct scsi_device field "vendor". Unfortunately, there are hundreds of structs with a "vendor" field.

cscope, etags, etc can't really handle this task. Eclipse and Visual Studio can.

I am really disappointed that emacs and vim who spout productivity over learning curve allow important productivity tasks such as this to remain more than a decade behind the state of the art.



if it's really that important to you, quit bitchin and start coding!


I am coding, but it's actually a more ambitious project to get rid of text in the toolchain altogether, making searches such as this much simpler cross-reference searches.
