go-find-references

Find all References of an Identifier in a Codebase

Usage

go-find-references [flags]

flags:

-file [string]: the complete path of the file that contains the identifier.
-offset [int]: the byte offset of the identifier in the above file.
-root [string]: the directory in which to search for references (optional). If omitted, the directory containing file will be used.

For each found reference, the program will output two lines of text:
The first line contains the path of the file relative to root followed by :lineNumber. The second line contains the (trimmed) source text line containing the reference.

example output:

go-find-references -file /usr/lib/go/src/pkg/sort/search.go -offset 2254

/usr/share/go/src/pkg/sort/search.go:59:6 func Search(n int, f func(int) bool) int { /usr/share/go/src/pkg/sort/search.go:84:9 return Search(len(a), func(i int) bool { return a[i] >= x }) /usr/share/go/src/pkg/sort/search.go:93:9 return Search(len(a), func(i int) bool { return a[i] >= x }) /usr/share/go/src/pkg/sort/search.go:102:9 return Search(len(a), func(i int) bool { return a[i] >= x })

TODOs:

• Improve error messages
• Add support for non-expression identifiers (e.g. keys in struct initialization)
