RE: GNU Global Parsing Suffixless Files Patch

[Cooper, Anthony]

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: OFFICIAL 


Assorted projects I've come across have include and Include (the example below 
is a trivial but a real one relating to MS-Windows) and some even have include 
dirs names XInclude or something similar (can't remember the project now, 
wasn't X11 but probably an X client).

I have attached a patch that implements case 1 as described below, changes 
against 6.5.5.

Regards,

Tony.

In what kind of case is this useful?
If possible, would you please show me an example?

In ctags's langmap, the pattern is glob pattern not regex.
