Re: Indexing c/c++ comments and text files

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,

You can use the functions of id-utils by the -I option of gtags and global.
Is it insufficient?

  For example, the following c++ comment text isn't currently indexed by 
global/gtags, but I would 
like it to be:
> 
>    // SOME_IMPORTANT_ENUM_1
>    "Some corresponding text 1",
>    
>    // SOME_IMPORTANT_ENUM_2
>    "Some corresponding text 2",
>    
>    etc.

 to return references to the comment lines above.

parser.
