How to find a function definition?

[mabo5184]

Well my advice is still good in general, but yeah that function sure is missing from the source isn't it? I'll hunt around a little bit.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it tonight ...

My question was a general one because searching a source struck me as a useful tool for the toolbox when debugging.

I don't pretend I would ever be able to understand a program as large as Rhythmbox, but I though it would be an interesting place to start given I like using the program and I have been having some problems. I naively thought I might be able to fix my problem while learning some programming along way.

A final update for anyone that may have been interested.

The recommended program cscope was very good for searching the source code.

Regarding the missing function ...

The function I was looking for is automatically defined with the macro G_DEFINE_DYNAMIC_TYPE, so the function is part of the Glib/GObject system which explains why I could not find it in the source files ...
