How do you know the source is on the machine? If it is a function name that is generic, you could easily find the wrong code. Plus if the code is in some kind of code archive, like Serena, you cannot search for it. In other words this example may not work but cause you problems....

find / -name '*.cpp'  -exec grep -l function_name {} \;
