- > Is it easy to modify etags.c so that it recognizes other languages?
-
- No, it's not too difficult. (Of course it depends on the syntactical
- complexity of your language at hand.)
-
- If you can identify your functions by regexp pattern matching,
- a simple awk script will be your friend.
-
- A tagger based on vgrindefs-entries would be much more elegant than
- hacking etags.c up and up and up for each new language.
