Hello.
I have seen some academic papers about semantic search done with Neural Networks. These existed before LLMs were a thing. So I’m wondering. Do you know a tool which automatically indexes a codebase? So for the project developers, it’ll be easier to find out where everything is. The tool should obviously know about the APIs and also it should recognize the programming language syntax.
Something like a graph of entities in the codebase. Like classes, methods, functions, constants and so on.
Yup. But in a web UI. So we can find other relevant entities.
Like Doxygen?
oh yeah! that’s it! But I wanted it for Lua. So the keyword is “documentation generator”?
Yes, that seems to work. Searching for doxygen and Lua also shows some plugins for compatibility, like this https://github.com/alecchen/doxygen-lua
Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Sounds like you are describing SourceGraph.
Someone else suggested this too. But he told me sourcegraph has been poisoned by LLMs…
There is also zoekt. I would go for it to see how it’ll go.
