Sorry, I did not notice you were not subscribed.

No, because gp is written in C. Instead you should use ctags which you
can create using
make ctags etags
(the tags are created in src/)

The code for quadray is in the file src/modules/stark.c, line 3168 and
passim, the core of the code being the function ellphist.
