Hi! I recently installed etags on Cygwin.
$ etags --version Exuberant Ctags 5.8, Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Darren Hiebert Compiled: Dec 11 2009, 11:42:40 Addresses: <dhieb...@users.sourceforge.net>, http://ctags.sourceforge.net Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex, +internal-sort This caused t/tags-pr12372.sh (v1.13.2-63-gb4bfacb, i.e. not the very latest, but close enough) to go from SKIP to FAIL. The reason for the FAIL is that this etags program will not by default generate any tags for file extensions it does not recognize. Quoting from the manual: SOURCE FILES Unless the --language-force option is specified, the language of each source file is automatically selected based upon a mapping of file names to languages. The mappings in effect for each language may be display using the --list-maps option and may be changed using the --langmap option. On platforms which support it, if the name of a file is not mapped to a language and the file is executable, the first line of the file is checked to see if the file is a "#!" script for a recog‐ nized language. With that info (and with the help of the docs for the --langmap option), I can make the test PASS *for this etags* with the below patch. I also question if it's wise to 'cat TAGS' in the test, as I have non-printable characters the tags files.
