I helped write DXR for indexing Mozilla's source code based on an instrumented compiler run; this has eventually been developed into mozsearch (https://github.com/mozsearch/mozsearch), whose indexing for mozilla-central is visible here: https://searchfox.org.

I thought it was abandoned! This is great to hear it just moved. Is there anyone at Mozilla that can update the old DXR repo [0] to direct people to MozSearch?

I work on a very large c++ monolith at work and DXR has been a real game changer for helping me just figure out how so much of the codebase works. Thanks!!
