Is there a way to find the definition of a class or function quickly in ROS?

In my project, there are several packages and some classes use inheritance... Is there a way to quickly find class and function instead of open all the related source files one by one in ROS?........... Thanks!

Well, this is not a ROS specific problem, but you could use an IDE such as Eclipse to help you with that.

In Eclipse, you can set the mouse over a function name or a class name and right click -> Open Definition to open the file where the name that you are highlighting is defined.

If you know the name of the function you want to find, you can just use grep in the terminal:

grep -r -i my_function_name my_catkin_ws/src/
