Subject: Re: [9fans] Codebase navigation and using tags files in acme
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 16:08:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <917939d480bd66878d0cb20ac175db16@9srv.net> (raw)

I did port Exuberant ctags several years ago when I was
dealing with a large body of unfamiliar code for a
project. Mine is here:
        http://9p.io/sources/contrib/anothy/src/ctags/
It is a pretty straight-forward port, just adding an
output type suitable for acme (file:n). About a year
ago (I think?) someone told me that they did an
updated port, but I can't find the reference quickly.
Personally, I find ctags (and similar tools) useful
only in extreme circumstances, and otherwise rely only
on acme's built-in matching and a few scripts similar
to what's been posted here.
