Ctags For Mac Os X
Exuberant Ctags is used for code completion and code navigation. It supports many programming languages.
Please read EmacsWiki for basic usage.
Ctags is a programming tool that generates an index (or tag) file of names found in source and header files of various programming languages to aid code comprehension.Depending on the language, functions, variables, class members, macros and so on may be indexed. These tags allow definitions to be quickly and easily located by a text editor, a code search engine, or other utility.
- $ alias ctags='`brew -prefix`/bin/ctags' When you’re sitting in the directory you want to index, just run: ctags -R. Ctags will walk through the directory recursively, tagging all source files it encounters. For very large projects, this might take a while, but normally it’s pretty fast.
- Vim and Ctags 2012-10-31. Combining vim with ctags yields a powerful combination for working with large or unfamiliar codebases. What is ctags? Ctags is a tool that will sift through your code, indexing methods, classes, variables, and other identifiers, storing the index in a tags file. The tags file contains a single tag per line.
Ctags creates an index file named 'TAGS'. The path of TAGS is stored in a Emacs variable
tags-table-list
.Example of
tags-table-list
:When running
M-x find-tag
, the tag files in tags-table-list
is read to find the definition of the symbol under cursor.Here is my strategy to manage TAGS automatically:
- I hard coded path of TAGS in
.emacs
because I don't change project path frequently - In major mode hook like
c++-mode-hook
orjs2-mode-hook
I check the path current file. If it matches project name, the file is part of the project - TAGS for the project is created
- When saving the file, update TAGS by the value of
tags-table-list
Code:
UPDATE:Ctags is discussed at Google Plus. Kaushal Modi recommended three Emacs plugins:
I tried them. My code has same features as
ctags-update
and etags-table
. I prefer my own code because it's simpler and controllable.But I do like
etags-select
, it provides better UI for finding tag and I will use it from now on.UPDATE:I have developed my own ctags solution for Emacs,
