Thanks much. Came across cscope in a pdf on linux kernel hacking I had a 
while back but misplaced.
Meant to get my hands more into that.
Guess I sort of lost track of it.

Making more sense already. I see

The logic was straight forward. "define" is obviously a command.
But the (I guess you'd call them "identifiers"?) didn't make any sense 
to me:

SPL_G(v) TSRMG(spl_globals_id, zend_spl_globals *, v)

SPL_G(v) (spl_globals.v)

That is a book I should have read long time ago.
College deluded me into thinking C was antiquated and C++ was all I 
needed and that if *that* ever failed to be the case, Java would be the 
answer.
Hacking stuff indicated Assembly was where you could really take command 
of the machine.
Assembly is very cool, but a weeee bit a PITA.
Taking another look at C makes me think C++ might be good at that higher 
level code management, but it abstracted away the depth of manipulation 
(and a deeper understanding) it looks like C is made for.
