Subject: From etags to ctags?
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 18:23:39 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140604142339.GA27417@debian> (raw)
Emacs now support only etags format directly. But this format does not support storage of extended information about symbols, like scoping and inheritance data. But Exuberant Ctags can gather such data.
And if such information will be presented in tags, it will be possible make smarter completion for company-mode and auto-complete-mode. Without creating a parser in elisp, like in js2-mode.
How do you think, does it make sense to create direct support of ctags format, like it done for etags now?
