GVim Ctrl-W source code

Where can I find the source code for C-W operation (delete a word in insert mode) of GVim? I tried to search in the Vim repository http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/ but I am not able to find it there. I need the implementation in vimscript and not c++.

Some help would be appreciated.

Ctrl-w is not specific to gVim.

The code is in edit() in src/edit.c.

Vim is written in C (not C++), and the code for the insert mode command is therefore written in C, not Vimscript. If you look at line 1074 in src/edit.c you can see that the ins_bs() function is used:

case Ctrl_W:    /* delete word before the cursor */
    did_backspace = ins_bs(c, BACKSPACE_WORD, &inserted_space);
    auto_format(FALSE, TRUE);
    break;

You should probably just explain what you really want to do, though…

It's bound to be in there. It's all in there. That being said, it is probably not coded in Vimscript but in ... (C++ ?). Vimscript is Vim's internal scripting language, not the language most of Vim is written in.
