A couple of years ago I suggested that gcc (or other compilers in
Unix) implement cross-referencing ala IBM MF PL/1 or COBOL
cross-referencing. I got a responses ranging from "Why does one need a
xref" to "On Unix there are lots of tools that obviate the need for a"
xref" from various persons (including gnu volunteers). Change of mind
at the top? If so, that would be a nice addition to the gcc and associates.
