Good source code browser for C [closed]

Tags:

c

I am on the look out for a good software for browsing kernel level code written in C. I am currently using source navigator. Are there any better suggestions?

EDIT: I work on systems with both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu), so it should run on at least one of them, but Linux software is preferable.

This might not be what you're shooting for; it's less interactive than a dedicated tool, but I've found LXR to be very useful for providing a web interface front-end for browsing large source repositories. In each file, every symbol is linked to its original definition, so it's easy to dial down to exactly what you're looking for.

It was originally designed for indexing the Linux kernel source, and still does so here, (though I must say I'm not jazzed about the new AJAX interface...)

It can be run on any code base, though; not limited to the Linux kernel. And the web interface makes it easy to access from anywhere and from any system.
