Subject: reading the C source of Emacs
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2003 18:03:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uznq74o1c.fsf@ID-87814.user.dfncis.de> (raw)
I have just taught myself the very first baby steps of C. I want to
read and understand the C sources of Emacs.
Not surprisingly I am pretty lost. What is a good starting point to
read those sources? Is there any recommended order of reading?
Does anyone have any other recommendations on how to proceed? Can
anyone -- for example -- recommend a shorter and simpler program whose
sources are well documented and that I could study as a training
before I try to read the Emacs sources? I am not interested in C
programming in general, I just want to understand Emacs, if this is
possible for me at all.
Oliver
