copied!<p>Unfortunately C++ doesn't lend itself to this sort of class browser for two reasons:</p> <ul> <li><p>There is no central repository or image with all of the active classes in it. The class definitions are spread around many files.</p></li> <li><p>Class definitions and files live in a M:M relationship. Not all of a class is necessarily defined in a single file and one file can have code for more than one class.</p></li> </ul> <p>On Linux, <a href="http://www.kdevelop.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">KDevelop</a>, <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Eclipse</a> and <a href="http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/HOWTO/C++Programming-HOWTO-12.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">various others</a> all have C++ support and a greater or lesser degree of support for the introspection that is possible on an arbitrary base of C++ source code. </p> <p>You might also get some mileage from <a href="http://ctags.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ctags</a>, which analyses the source code files and identifies the definitions for types, classes, members etc. This can be used with any decent editor such as <a href="http://www.vim.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vim</a>, <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">emacs</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctags#Editors_that_support_ctags" rel="nofollow noreferrer">many other editors and IDE's</a>. From a source code editor that supports tags, you can place the cursor over a reference and jump to its definition. It's not quite as good as <a href="http://www.faqs.org/faqs/smalltalk-faq/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Inspect</a> but you don't really have the concept of a running image. The closest you will get to that is a debugger such as <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DDD.</a></p>
