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.
Do you mean like things like LSP and tags?
Yup. But in a web UI. So we can find other relevant entities.
Like Doxygen?
Thank you 😊
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!
https://github.com/colbymchenry/codegraph might approach what you’re looking for. I’ve tried
tokensave, a reimplementation in rust, and it seems to work ok when it comes to a semantic search over a code base (albeit it seems almost entirely genAI-coded so I’m reluctant to outright recommend it).
