thanks for the .. vote of confidence.  (flattery will get you anywhere..  :-))

I've created two 'tags' files with the symbols/names used in the sources.
searching them for 'Get_Token' gives me:

jr@swift:1:tmp$ xzgrep -n Get_Token hg_tags.xz
46500:Get_Token
povray-3.8.0.alpha-Hg.226.Bigarade/source/parser/parser_tokenizer.cpp 317;" f
class:pov_parser::Parser
46501:Get_Token_String
povray-3.8.0.alpha-Hg.226.Bigarade/source/parser/parser_tokenizer.cpp 1701;" f
class:pov_parser::Parser
jr@swift:2:tmp$ xzgrep -n Get_Token pov_tags.xz
45379:Get_Token povray-3.8.0-alpha.10064268/source/parser/parser_tokenizer.cpp
210;" f class:pov_parser::Parser
45380:Get_Token_String
povray-3.8.0-alpha.10064268/source/parser/parser_tokenizer.cpp 877;" f
class:pov_parser::Parser
jr@swift:3:tmp$

you can download the listings from here:

<https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ThvgvOXlnSnHJrlAVdiV1UF1fcRpAIZ/view?usp=sharing>

they're about 20M each, so I have used 'xz' to compress, you can use 'WinRAR' to
uncompress if you don't have an 'unxz' installed.


regards, jr.
