Re: etags for C++

[Richard Stallman]

    etags is OK.  For practical use etags must run on all relevant source
    files in the target project by something like this.

         find . -name "*.[chCH]" -print | etags -

    I am asking if we can provide easier way to perform above task.  In
    above syntax manipulating "*.[chCH]" to include .cc, .cpp and .cxx is
    not trivial.

Now I see that we have been misunderstanding each other.
That example in the manual is meant to show how you can use
find to select the files to etags to operate on.  You seem to want
an example showing how to find C and C++ files, but that isn't
what it is intended for.
