Source Insight Reviews & Product Details

This is the bestest software I've ever used for C code development. Major features I like: Jumping to function defination, seeing all references of variables/functions, showing relationship between function calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it takes time to refresh relationship window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

References to function, search reference, browse, different font style for functions, definitions, etc., is great. Makes coders' job easy and improves efficiency. Source Insight is part and parcel of my life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing as such. Source Insight caters to all my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

unique font color and font representation of API, variable, macro, feature flags. better GUI for caller tracing and checking multiple references. side by side comparison between two versions of the same file. easier search for the desired piece of code in the project via multiple ways: file name, API name, or variable name. hints in maintaining the format and typo mistakes, indentations.

generally, I deal with projects with more than 50 million+ lines of SW code and it becomes slower when you have more than 2000 files or 10 million+ lines of code. so while writing code or browsing it I have to select only some desired lines of code. it is not something that the tool is not getting enough RAM allocation or something. my system is left with more than 60% and 70% CPU cycles and source insight is still slower for the projects having 10+ million lines of code.

The best part of this tool is that it has a lot of functionality for searching any function, variable or anything related to code is easy to handle and we can review any programming language Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It looks very costly and some things I don't like that font size are not fast to change Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

File structure

Functions visibility

More search options like search in selected files only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is not good

The search for the function definition is not giving proper search Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the language sensitive editor the most. It makes it easy to get coding mistakes out before you compile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing this is a great tool. Its easy to use and does so much with its language sensitive editor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are plenty of things about Source Insight that I liked:

1) Syntax Formatting: It makes code look pretty interesting and it has multiple colors but never looks cluttered at all.

2) Reference/Call Tree/Call Graph: It is a very useful feature which automatically checks and identifies the reference for what the user is writing or where the cursor is placed.

3) Symbol Window: This is again useful in terms of getting all the symbols of a file listed.

4) Context Window: This is also a very interesting feature of Source Insight which automatically populates contextual information of the symbol under the cursor.

5) Quickest Navigation: This helps save developers a lot of time while doing their coding.

6) Relation Window: This helps to figure out the relation of a particular symbol with the rest of the symbols.

7) Clip Window: This is also a very useful feature of Source Insight which helps developers with editing like drag and drop functionality of text between clips and source files.

8) Debugging is also a pretty useful feature of Source Insight.

9) Multiple independent source windows which make it very easy to manage symbols of all files separately in their separate symbol windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Source Insight support for macro debugging is still missing.

2) Sometimes syncing of new projects takes a little longer than expected, I would say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its main features, Context Window, Navigation, etc. Smart rename, Project Conditions, Can customize Styles and Layouts, & availability of various themes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't find anything particular and I've used it for 3 years now. One thing I encountered recently was that it should save the Layout set for the specific project. After restarting the project, it should automatically load that layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Easy to find the files with names or variables in File Explorer

2. Easy to open any struct/variable definitions.

3. Once Source is created, the project will be loaded much faster compared to the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Search a keyword in all the files takes time and need to be improved. Because of which I have used different editor for the search.

2. Can be expanded to link with current debuggers like AMD HDT or Intel XDP or Arium Debugger.

3. More info can be loaded at the cursor position than need to open the declaration every time.

4. Creating project with source takes time, need to be enhanced.

5. Search can also be optimized to exclude subfolders in source project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to search all the occurrences of the function in the code. The option to put breakpoints in code and reviews the value of the variables. The ability to integrate various compilers. The ability to do refactoring of the code automatically. The ability to work with a variety JTAGS and external debuggers. The auto-completion of commands. Search for instance of the text in all the files of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The size of the function names. It should be the same size as discoloration. I prefer a dark theme. Invest time so it will look better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
