WebBrowser.py implements a NiceGUI-based web interface to browse code and references from an indexed database. The web browser also implements a feature requested by Phil Eaton: being able to quickly find functions that share the same function signature. The underlying analysis for finding same-typed functions is its own tool.
To run the web browser, first download a pre-built release for Linux of Multiplier. Then, follow the instructions to index a codebase. In this example, I indexed OpenSSH.
If you're using a pre-built release extracted to /path/to/multiplier/release, then you'll want to set up a Python virtual environment as follows:
$ python3.12 -m venv /path/multiplier/release
$ source /path/multiplier/release/bin/activate
(multiplier) $Next, install NiceGUI into the Python virtual environment:
(multiplier) $ python -m pip install niceguiFinally, invoke WebBrowser.py from a source checkout of Multiplier.
(multiplier) $ python /path/to/multiplier/source/bin/Examples/WebBrowser.py --db /tmp/openssh.db Using and indexed OpenSSH as an example, here is what the web browser looks like when it is opened. The user is first presented with an file tree view, which expands to show all files in the indexed database:
When a directory is expanded and a file clicked on, a syntax-highlighted form of the code of that file is shown.
References are both clickable, triggering redirects to their definitions (if present), and right-clickable, showing an selection of options:
Clicking each of the right click menu options for the addr_unicast_masklen function
shows the following for references to, references from, and same-typed functions:
