Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Would it make sense, in general, for etags to first try to find a tag
inside the current buffer? I am working in legacy code that has the
same name for certain help functions in many files. I would like etags
to first try find the tag inside the current buffer.

Please consider the following files:

a.c:
#include <stdio.h>

static void help_func (void)
{
  printf ("ad");
}


void a_func (void)
{
 help_func ();
 printf ("a\n");
}

a.h:
void a_func (void);

b.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "a.h"

static void help_func (void);

int main (void)
{
  help_func ();
  a_func ();

 return 0;
}

static void help_func (void)
{
  printf ("kalle\n");
}

c:\src\example>C:\download\emacs-cvs\bin\etags a.c a.h b.c

Then go to the line " help_func ();" in b.c and try find-tag. You will
be taken to the function defined in a.c. I know about "C-u M-.", but
that is not a very big help if there is a big number of files with
different help_funcs.

Best Regards
Mats

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

I can certainly see cases where that would be useful.  I think much of
this stuff has been rewritten in terms of xref now?  I gave the xref
code a quick look-over, but I didn't see anything obvious in this
area...

Does anybody know whether Emacs grown support for this use case in the
12 years since this bug report was filed?

We did switch to Xref, but for many languages (including C), Xref
still uses etags as its back-end.  So etags is still relevant.

As for the original request: I guess we could satisfy that by having
Xref sort the matches so that those in the current buffer come first
in the display we show in the *XREF* buffer?  Dmitry, would it make
sense to add such an option, and if so, would it be hard to do so?  In
xref--alistify, perhaps, or in xref--analyze?

It would probably better work as an etags option (residing next to 
etags-xref-find-definitions-tag-order): Xref, in general, cannot know in 
advance whether a given tags resides in the current buffer, and 
following all tags is relatively costly.

I was thinking to suggest having that behavior on by default (and maybe 
avoid adding a new variable altogether), but it seems to conflict with 
the intention behind etags-xref-find-definitions-tag-order, so probably not.

Hm...  well, wouldn't sorting the definitions that are in the local file
first fit naturally in that variable?

But then this feature will be reserved only for the etags backend, no?

Maybe there should be a backend-specific sorting method or something?

Right.

Possible, but then we'll need to have two sets of such predicates, as 
well as require more passes over the tags file during the search.

Which isn't free, performance-wise.

Not 100% sure how that could work, but I'm reasonably certain that 
"prioritize hits in the current file" is mostly relevant to etags.

Because when one uses more precise backends, "find definition" gets 
fewer hits, and you don't really need to choose which ones to start with 
-- the current file or otherwise.

Even if there are exceptions, I think only etags has the problem 
mentioned below. Other backends could simply always prioritize the 
current file, no user option needed.

^^^ the aforementioned problem.

When a backend returns just one hit, this is a non-issue.  The OP
specifically described a situation where there are many functions with
the same name in the project.  That's the use case we are discussing.
I don't see how the backend can affect this situation.  Especially
since the etags backend is also quite accurate.

But I'm going to stop arguing.  If there isn't enough enthusiasm for
implementing this, it will remain a pipe dream, I guess.

Static analysis can very often determine which of the multiple functions 
with the same name will be used at a particular call site. Yes, there 
are exceptions (which will happen less frequently than with etags), like 
when we're trying to jump to a virtual function with overloads in 
several subclasses. But jumping to such function call from a file with 
one of the definitions, and not being able to determine which of the 
functions is going to be called, is going to be an even more rare 
occurrence.

And even so, those backends can choose to sort the results starting with 
the current file by default. No user option needed.

I'm saying etags' particular characteristics and varied usage patterns 
justify the addition of an etags-specific variable.

I don't see much use for it for other backends, but if I'm proven wrong, 
that proof would also provide some new information which would help 
generalize the feature. This can happen at a later stage.

The problem is definitely much more noticeable in the etags backend, so
if your judgement is that that's where the option (and sorting) should
go, then please go ahead.  :-)

Here's a rough patch.

patch looks good to me.  Only extremely minor thing:

Thanks.

Is the above a good variable name? I wasn't sure about it.

I suggest "prefer" instead of "prioritize", and "current" instead of
"same".  ("Same" here leaves me wondering "same as what?")
