[Gambas-user] Gambas Header Files

[Cedron Dawg]

Apples and oranges.  I assumed that Ctags was a reporting tool.

So there must be a utility that scans codes and generates tag files, which then allows your editor to jump to the symbol definition.  Do I have that right?

Slick, but that's not how I like to work.

Seeing all the defines in one place is helpful for me as well.

This project is part of a learning exercise for me.  Having useful report files as output is a beneficial side effect.  I'm trying to work towards a solution that solves the struct incompatibility problem in an entirely automated way.  That may have an impact on how component files are best architected.

That is part of a larger goal of being able to automatically generate shell components for existing libraries.  I'm thinking about libusb and a full implementation of the Gnu Scientific Library.  Way too much work to do manually.

Do you know ctags [1]? It does all of that and more. I highly recommend it
when working with Gambas' core.
