<b>ctags</b> and <b>etags</b> programs (hereinafter
|
|
65
|
+
collectively referred to as <b>ctags</b>, except where
|

66

distinguished) generate an index (or "tag") file
|
|
67
|
+
for a variety of language objects found in <i>file(s)</i>.
|
|
68
|
+
This tag file allows these items to be quickly and easily
|
|
69
|
+
located by a text editor or other utility. A "tag"
|
|
70
|
+
signifies a language object for which an index entry is
|
|
71
|
+
available (or, alternatively, the index entry created for
|
|
72
|
+
that object).</p>

|
|
74
|
+
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Alternatively,
|
|
75
|
+
<b>ctags</b> can generate a cross reference file which

76

lists, in human readable form, information about the various

source objects found in a set of language files.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Tag index files

105
|

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Unless the
|
|
106
|
+
<b>−−language−force</b> option is
|
|
107
|
+
specified, the language of each source file is automatically
|
|
108
|
+
selected based upon a mapping of file names to languages.
|
|
109
|
+
The mappings in effect for each language may be display
|
|
110
|
+
using the <b>−−list−maps</b> option and
|
|
111
|
+
may be changed using the <b>−−langmap</b>
|
|
112
|
+
option. On platforms which support it, if the name of a file
|
|
113
|
+
is not mapped to a language and the file is executable, the
|
|
114
|
+
first line of the file is checked to see if the file is a

117

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">By default, all

other files names are ignored. This permits running
|
|
119
|
+
<b>ctags</b> on all files in either a single directory (e.g.
|
|
120
|
+
"ctags *"), or on all files in an entire source
|
|
121
|
+
directory tree (e.g. "ctags −R"), since only
|
|
122
|

those files whose names are mapped to languages will be

scanned.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">[The reason
|
|
126
|
+
that .h extensions are mapped to C++ files rather than C
|
|
127
|
+
files is because it is common to use .h extensions in C++,
|
|
128
|
+
and no harm results in treating them as C++ files.]</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Despite the

135

wealth of available options, defaults are set so that

136

<b>ctags</b> is most commonly executed without any options
|
|
137
|
+
(e.g. "ctags *", or "ctags −R"),
|
|
138
|
+
which will create a tag file in the current directory for
|
|
139
|
+
all recognized source files. The options described below are
|
|
140
|
+
provided merely to allow custom tailoring to meet special

141
|

needs.</p>

parameters are optional.</p>

the boolean parameters to the long form options (those

150

"<i>[=yes</i>|<i>no]</i>" parameter) may be

|
151
|

omitted, in which case "<b>=</b><i>yes</i>" is
|
|
152
|
+
implied. (e.g. <b>−−sort</b> is equivalent to

|
153
|
+
<b>−−sort</b>=<i>yes</i>). Note further that
|
|
154
|
+
"=<i>1</i>" and "=<i>on</i>" are

special cases arising through the use of preprocessor

<p style="margin-left:18%; margin-top: 1em">This feature is

useful when preprocessor macros are used in such a way that

|
|
328

Indeed, this is the best way of working around a number of

329
|

problems caused by the presence of syntax-busting macros in
|
|
330
|
+
source files (see <b>CAVEATS</b>, below). Some examples will

<p style="margin-left:18%; margin-top: 1em">In the above

interpreted to be the name of the function instead of the

349
|

(indeed, it could even be followed by a global variable
|

definition that would look much like a K&R style

function parameter declaration). In fact, this seeming

function definition could possibly even cause the rest of

extracted; currently C++, Eiffel, and Java). The actual form
|
|
734
|
+
of the qualified tag depends upon the language from which
|
|
735
|
+
the tag was derived (using a form that is most natural for
|
|
736
|
+
how qualified calls are specified in the language). For C++,
|
|
737
|
+
it is in the form "class::member"; for Eiffel and
|
|
738
|
+
Java, it is in the form "class.member". This may
|
|
739
|
+
allow easier location of a specific tags when multiple
|
|
740
|
+
occurrences of a tag name occur in the tag file. Note,
|
|
741
|
+
however, that this could potentially more than double the

742

size of the tag file.</p></td>

specified by enclosing the pattern in parentheses (e.g.

"([Mm]akefile)"). If appropriate support is

the file name pattern may contain the usual shell wildcards

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">As <b>ctags</b>
|
|
1397
|
+
considers each file name in turn, it tries to determine the
|
|
1398
|
+
language of the file by applying the following three tests
|
|
1399
|
+
in order: if the file extension has been mapped to a
|
|
1400
|
+
language, if the file name matches a shell pattern mapped to
|
|
1401
|
+
a language, and finally if the file is executable and its

1402

+
first line specifies an interpreter using the Unix-style
|
|
1403
|
+
"#!" specification (if supported on the platform).
|
|
1404
|
+
If a language was identified, the file is opened and then
|
|
1405
|
+
the appropriate language parser is called to operate on the
|
|
1406
|
+
currently open file. The parser parses through the file and
|
|
1407
|
+
adds an entry to the tag file for each language object it is
|
|
1408
|
+
written to handle. See <b>TAG FILE FORMAT</b>, below, for

1412

implementation of <b>ctags</b> imposes no formatting
|
|
1413
|

requirements on C code as do legacy implementations. Older
|
|
1414
|

implementations of ctags tended to rely upon certain
|

formatting assumptions in order to help it resolve coding

dilemmas caused by preprocessor conditionals.</p>

1418

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">In general,
|
|
1419
|
+
<b>ctags</b> tries to be smart about conditional
|
|
1420
|
+
preprocessor directives. If a preprocessor conditional is
|
|
1421
|
+
encountered within a statement which defines a tag,
|
|
1422
|
+
<b>ctags</b> follows only the first branch of that
|
|
1423
|
+
conditional (except in the special case of "#if
|
|
1424
|
+
0", in which case it follows only the last branch). The
|
|
1425
|
+
reason for this is that failing to pursue only one branch
|
|
1426
|
+
can result in ambiguous syntax, as in the following

1427

example:</p>

|
|
1449
|

within the conditionals, <b>ctags</b> will retry the file
|

1450
|

using a different heuristic which does not selectively

1451

follow conditional preprocessor branches, but instead falls

back to relying upon a closing brace ("}") in

These tags are composed in such a way that they always sort
|
|
1568
|
+
to the top of the file. Therefore, the first two characters
|
|
1569
|
+
of these tags are used a magic number to detect a tag file
|
|
1570
|
+
for purposes of determining whether a valid tag file is
|
|
1571
|
+
being overwritten rather than a source file.</p>

1572

1573

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note that the
|
|
1574
|
+
name of each source file will be recorded in the tag file
|
|
1575
|

exactly as it appears on the command line. Therefore, if the
|
|
1576
|
+
path you specified on the command line was relative to the
|
|
1577
|
+
current directory, then it will be recorded in that same

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Because

1826
|

<b>ctags</b> is neither a preprocessor nor a compiler, use

1827
|

of preprocessor macros can fool <b>ctags</b> into either
|
|
1828
|

missing tags or improperly generating inappropriate tags.
|
|
1829
|

Although <b>ctags</b> has been designed to handle certain

1830
|

common cases, this is the single biggest cause of reported

problems. In particular, the use of preprocessor constructs

1832
|

which alter the textual syntax of C can fool <b>ctags</b>.
