I would like to adopt ctags and update it to successor universal-ctags.
Thanks. I added this to your packages.
Description:
Generates an index (tag) file of language objects found in
source files.
The index makes it easy for text editors or other utilities to locate
the indexed items.
Ctags can also generate a cross reference file which lists information
about the various objects found in a set of language files in human
readable form.
Exuberant Ctags improves on ctags because it can find all types of
This should say "universal-ctags", right?
language tags, including macro definitions, enumerated values (values
inside enum{...}), function and method definitions, enum/struct/union
tags, external function prototypes, typedef names and variable
declarations.
Exuberant Ctags is far less likely to be fooled by code containing
preprocessor conditional constructs than ctags.
Exuberant ctags supports output of Emacs style TAGS files and can be
used to print out a list of selected objects found in source files.
Install ctags if you are going to use your system for C programming.
