Source code of getcontext and setcontext - system-calls

I have been trying to explore the source code of the getcontext() and setcontext functions but I have not been able to spot the right file or resource. Any help in this regard will be helpful.
I was able to trace to http://fossies.org/dox/glibc-2.14.1/setcontext_8c_source.html but there is no info

I think the reason you found it difficult to find the source code is that getcontext and setcontext are (generally?) implemented in assembly than in C. Here are the source codes
setcontext and getcontext
However, these assembly codes are not so easy to read. I think man getcontext is better. Anyways, good luck :)

navigate to the implementation of a data-type or a function

I was wondering if there was the equivalent of "Ctrl+left-click" in eclipse for java, that takes me to the implementation of a method or a data-type in Rascal. I'm finding it a little hard to sort through a list of references brought up by doing a "Ctrl+H" search everytime.
Thanks,
The short answer is: not yet.
The longer answer is: we are working hard on a type checker and compiler for Rascal and those will provide the basic information for jumping to definitions, uses, and the like. As soon as that information is available we will integrate it in Eclipse.

basex/rest - blog complete app

As part of a project, I am to implement the blog-application mentioned on this site: https://github.com/siserle/blog-example
There is absolutely no direction being provided as what I must do and I am not sure where to start. Can someone who is familiar with this type of application please let me know what steps I need to take. I am specifically supposed to implement the blog-complete section.
The blog-complete.xqm is found the restxq folder, and it has a lot of code. I am not sure what I need to do with that code. Looking at the code, it looks like I must separate it (though i am not sure), and place some files in the webapp folder of basex and some maybe in the static folder. Anyway, I am sure anyone reading this will understand that I am completely lost. Please shed some light on what I must do.
Your help is much appreciated.

Creating a plugin for code hinting

I'm working with an internally-developed scripting language that some prof and his team have created for an academic project. There's documentation that show function signatures of the existing classes, but for outsiders like me, I'm constantly referring to documentation. Also, in the summer, more helpers will join and I bet they will all suffer from the same problem. So I'd like to write something in Eclipse to help with code hinting and completion, like many languages have.
I haven't programmed eclipse add-ons before, so can someone give me hints how I would generally take the function signatures from their documentation and get code hinting from it. I realize I may need to make changes to the documentation to use it for what I need. But any hints or sample projects would be appreciated. I'm not sure how to get started.
You should have a look at Xtext. With Xtext you can define a domain specific language and generate an editor for it. Here you can find a brief tutorial.

Sandcastle Authoring for Conceptual Topics

I'm working on writing some conceptual documentation to our otherwise technical documentation that is being produced in Sandcastle.
There aren't a whole lot of good examples/links out there, but I'm starting to get the hang of MAML. If anyone has any excellent resources for looking/understanding this, I'd appreciate it.
I was hoping to have my conceptual documentation make reference to some of the types in my Documentation Sources. Is there a way to put something as simple as ">Type to link to the documentation that is also in the code?
EDIT:
This was a major problem on my behalf, since I'm new to it.
The best way to link to a code item is to grab it from the Entities Window. To open the Entities Window, go to Window > Entities References. From here, you can Find the appropriate type/method/property and drag it into the code from the results.
The MAML reference guide is included with the Sandcastle Styles download: http://sandcastlestyles.codeplex.com/ and has been IMMENSELY helpful at learning how to format things.
You can create a reference from Conceptual Documentation to Reference Documentation by using codeEntityReference. Details please refer to: http://davesexton.com/blog/blogs/blog/archive/2008/05/24/maml-migration-the-next-step-in-the-evolution-of-help-authoring.aspx

How can I figure out what didn't load in MEF

I had a class and I typed in the concrete class rather then the interface that was registered.
Is there a way to debug this sort of thing in visual studio?
I don't really want to use mefx because it seemed to crash on me when I tried it.
I think Daniel Plaisted's post on that topic covered it pretty well. If you don't like mefx, you can examine the rejection trace in the debugger's output window, or you can use the composition diagnostics assembly to print the composition information yourself.
