multilanguage implementation of ctags

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Exuberant Ctags is a multilanguage reimplementation of the much- underused ctags(1) program. It generates indexes of source code definitions which are used by a number of editors and tools. Support for Assembler, AWK, ASP, BETA, Bourne/Korn/Z Shell, C, C++, COBOL, Eiffel, Fortran, Java, Lisp, Makefile, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, REXX, Ruby, S-Lang, Scheme, Tcl, and Vim is present; in particular, the C/C++ parser is far less easily fooled by pre- processor conditional constructs than many other ctags(1) imple- mentations.
