RE: [cdt-dev] Help: how to use ctags with Eclipse CDT

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd rather phrase iit that our documentation isn't mature. The CDT can indeed index any project assuming you set it up correctly. If you add the appropriate information to the Path and Symbols project property page, your results will definitely improve. And once that is done, I think you'll see that the CDT is much stronger than ctags or even SlickEdit.

 

But point taken. This definitely is an area where we need to improve, still...

 

Cheers,

Doug

Thanks, Beth. I did some research and finally realized CDT used 
different term "index" rather than "tag" in most IDE's for the identifier 
reference.

However, it seems CDT's indexing feature is not strong. I have 
a big project involving more than one thousand .h and .cpp file under source 
tree directory. The quick test shows that Eclipse CDT cannot give all 
references, given a function. My SlickEdit does much better.

Most of the 
group members of mine are vi/emacs guys and it seems I'm the only IDE user. So 
it might be hard to get approved to buy a commercial IDE like SlickEdit. I 
really hope Eclipse can save me. But if CDT is still not mature, any other free 
IDE recommendation? Thank you so much!

You might also try the CDT mailing list, which is more user-oriented.

Dear fellow CDT users,

Can you tell me how to use ctags (or any other tagging tool) with Eclipse
CDT? Thank you very much!

BTW, do we have a FAQ list for CDT beginners like me? The mail archive
seems not to provide "search" feature, and thus hard to retrieve.
