etags stops parsing after const method

etags stops parsing after const method

After etags (with the --members flag) reaches a const method in a C++ class,
it doesn't recognize any other members of that class (neither methods nor
member variables).  For example, with the following simple class:

class foo
{
    int non_const_func1(void);
 
    int a;
    int const_func() const;
    int b;
 
    int non_const_func2(void);
 
};

etags generates tags for non_const_func1, a, and const_func, but not for b
nor non_const_func2.  Moving const_func up or down in the class shows that
it stops after processing a const method.  Interestingly, without the
--members flag, const_func *is* included in the TAGS file --- even though it
should *not* be included in this case.
 
Thanks,

Thank you for the report.  Unfortunately I have known this bug for about
one year, but found no way to correct it without rewriting most of etags
:-(

Anyway, since you have stumbled on it, I will tackle this problem again,
and see if I can find a way.

Ron,

I think I solved it.  But I need testing.  Would you please try
 ftp://pot.potorti.it/pub/software/unix/etags.tar.gz
and let me know?  The tar file also includes a precompiled Linux
binary. 

Please reply to me, not to the list.
