NAME

lab 100 - limbo tags

NOTES

I've been playing more with exuberant ctags. It's possible to make ctags recognize limbo source code using regular expressions to identify symbols we want tagged.

Here's a command I defined called ltags. It will search for functions, assuming the function name is not preceded by spaces, and, more reliably, find adt and module definitions:

#!/dis/sh
os -t ( /n/D/ctags57/ctags.exe  -n 
 '--tag-relative=yes'
 '--langdef=limbo' 
 '--langmap=limbo:.b.m' 
 '--regex-limbo=/^([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]+)\(.*\)/\1/m/' 
 '--regex-limbo=/([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]+) *: *adt */\1/t/'  
 '--regex-limbo=/([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]+) *: *module */\1/c/'  
 $* ) 

Try running it under /, and use relative path names:

 
% cd /
% ltags -R appl module

And open the acme client

Ctag /tags

10957142117-Acme-SAC

I added a command "Tag" to the Ctag program that will find and print all matching symbols to the name given as argument. Mouse-chording makes this nice to use. Right-clicking on symbol names will open the source file at that location. Browsing the whole limbo source hierarchy is then made quite easy.
