Re: Global does not recognize C++ final keyword

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
I have added your report to the TODO list.
(https://www.gnu.org/software/global/bugs.html)

By the way, C++ language is no longer officially supported.

        [NEWS]
        Version 6.6.5 - September 3 2020
        ...
        [DEPRECATED]
        o gtags: the built-in C++ parser is deprecated, since it is
not well maintained.
          Currently, it is hard to say that Global supports C++ language.

If you have universal-ctags, please try this:

        $ cp /usr/local/share/gtags/gtags.conf .
        $ gtags --gtagslabel=universal-ctags
        $ global -dx Model
        Model              16 cpp-test.cpp     struct Model final {
        $ _

The --gtagslabel=universal-ctags is not needed, if you rewrite
gtags.conf like follows:

        [gtags.conf]
        +--------------------
        |default:\
        |        :tc=native:
                |
                v
        +--------------------
        |default:\
        |        :tc=universal-ctags:

Thank you for the report!

Regards,
Shigio
