Re: Feature request: file list

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hi,

I will add new config variable 'gtags_hook' for gtags(1).

gtags_hook (command line)

Specify a command line which should be executed before the gtags's

job.  "./" in it always means the project root directory, since

gtags is always invoked there.

This hook might realize your requirement.

------------------------------------------------

[gtags.conf]

------------------------------------------------

:gtags_hook=./gen.sh < spec.in > gtags.files:

------------------------------------------------

[gen.sh]

------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

while read line

do

case $line in

*/) line=`echo $line | sed 's!/$!!'` # remove '/'

                find $line -type f -print

;;

*) eval "echo $line"

;;

esac

done

------------------------------------------------

[spec.in]

------------------------------------------------

src/lib/test.c

src/$VAR/test.h

src/system/

------------------------------------------------

The contents of the 'gtags.files' will be something like this.

src/lib/test.c

src/bbbbb/test.h

src/system/a.c

src/system/b.h

What do you think?

Regards,

Shigio

Hi Shigio

Working on a large, fragmented project, I would like to see two features:

1. The file list requires each record to be a file name. Would it be possible making names ending in ‘/’ start a new search hierarchy (respecting skip rules) etc? That way the list itself wouldn't have to change when updating.

2. Could the file list expand environment variables of the form $VAR and ${VAR}?

Best regards

Marcus
