ctags: usability fix

2009-09-20T10:27:43Z

The tag file generated by the tags.sh script has some issue. First: The identifier-list miss the DEFINE_TRACE,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL_GPL special handling, which can result in a wrong tag, not to jump to the right variable definition or function implementation. Second: It makes no real sense to include function prototypes and external and forward variable declarations, because jumping to a tag will sometimes go to this and not to the real definition and implementation. The information about the declaration is still there at the definition and implementation place. So this patch make it lot easier to navigate through the kernel source tree using vi.

kbuild: remove a tag file before it is regenerated

2009-05-01T08:54:02Z

If a tag file is not removed before it is regenerated, the newly generated data is appended to the old, which preserves stale data and makes the tag file grow over time. Signed-off-by: Matt Kraai Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: add sys_* entries for syscalls in tags

2009-02-15T11:50:09Z

Currently, it is no longer possible to use the tags file to jump to system call function definitions with sys_foo, because the definitions are obscured by use of the SYSCALL_DEFINE* macros. This patch adds the appropriate option to ctags to make it see through the macro. Also, it adds the ENTRY() work already done for Exuberant to Emacs too.

kbuild: fix tags generation of config symbols

2009-02-15T11:50:09Z

commit 4f628248a578585472e19e4cba2c604643af8c6c aka "kbuild: reintroduce ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/cscope" breaks tags generation for Kconfig symbols. Steps to reproduce: make tags vi -t PROC_FS It should jump to 'config PROC_FS' line. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Tested-by: Pete Wyckoff Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: reintroduce ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/cscope

2009-01-07T20:44:21Z

This patch reintroduce the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/TAGS/ cscope targets. The Kbuild previously has this feature, but after moving the targets into scripts/tags.sh, ALLSOURCE_ARCHS disappears. It's something like this: $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags cscope Signed-off-by: Jike Song Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: fix string equality testing in tags.sh

Test of string equality in shells is =, not C-like ==. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

- fix combining O=... and tags - don't allow * expansion during sh function calls Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby [sam: use KBUILD_SRC to check if we use O=...] Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

tags and cscope support really belongs in a shell script

2008-12-03T21:24:13Z

as they do not benefit from the make functionality. Moving the support to a shell script has several benefits: - The readability of the code has increased a lot - More people is able to extend the tags support - We see less changes to the top-level Makefile The shell script version includes improvements from: Alexey Dobriyan (jump to kconfig symbols) Alexey Dobriyan (drop ./ in paths) Ian Campbell (simplified find algorithms) This version has a few caveats: => It does not support ALLSOURCE_ARCHS - it is easy to add if it is really used => It assumes all archs have moved to arch/$ARCH/include - until that happens we have a few additional hits in the archs Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Tested-by: Ian Campbell
