[anjuta-devel] Improvements on anjuta-tags

[Sébastien Granjoux <seb sfo free fr>]

Hi Massimo,


I would like to make some improvements in anjuta-tags. But before, I 
think it would be useful to port the improvements committed in the 
official source forge repository of ctags. Do you agree with that?


I see that there are quite a lots of samples for checking ctags. I think 
it could be useful to add them in Anjuta but I don't know what is the 
best solution. We can check only anjuta-tags by generating a tag file 
and just comparing it with a reference file committed in Anjuta 
repository. The issue with this option is that we don't check the symbol 
database. Is it possible to generate a file, in ASCII if possible, from 
the Anjuta database so we can easily compare it with a reference?


A last idea, I think it would be better to add another level to order 
the symbol by type at least in the file symbol list. So instead of having
SYMBOL_DB_QUERY_GET_PRIVATE
_SymbolDBQueryPriv
on_sdb_query_async_poll(...)
on_sdb_query_dbe_connected(...)
on_sdb_query_dbe_disconnected(...)

You will have
Macros
        SYMBOL_DB_QUERY_GET_PRIVATE
Types
        _SymbolDBQueryPriv
Functions
        on_sdb_query_async_poll(...)
        on_sdb_query_dbe_connected(...)
        on_sdb_query_dbe_disconnected(...)

It looses a few lines but you can easily hide a whole class of symbols 
if you are not interested which is, I think, useful. What do you think?


Regards,

Sébastien
