Visual Studio Code plugin for CScout
I'm building a VS Code extension that brings the power of CScout’s whole-program C analysis directly into the editor. My goal is simple, let developers understand large C codebases more effectively without ever leaving VS Code. Using this extension, one will be able to browse identifiers, find all references, explore call graphs, check metrics, and even preview refactorings in the IDE itself. We will have to extend CScout by adding a clean REST/JSON API on top of the SWILL web server. This API will be the bridge to let external tools (like my VS Code extension) query the data from CScout in a structured way.
