[Suggestion] Export to a cscope database about starscope HOT 5 CLOSED

I have tried a few times to add this and have never been able to figure out the actual format of the cscope database file. If you have some documentation of what goes where it probably won't take me much effort to add support.

from starscope.

You can find it below, under the heading SYMBOL DATABASE FORMAT.

ftp://ftp.eeng.dcu.ie/pub/ee454/cygwin/usr/share/doc/mlcscope-14.1.8/html/cscope.html

Use the uncompressed format. Generate a database using cscope -c and then compare against the doc.

Thanks, I will put cscope export in the following branch until it is done:
https://github.com/eapache/starscope/tree/cscope_export

It may be a while before I get around to finishing it.

@ruben2020 I just released a new version (0.1.4) with this feature and a few misc other improvements. There is a git tag or you can get it from rubygems (https://rubygems.org/gems/starscope)

@eapache
Thanks. I just modified CodeQuery to accept the ctags class notation for Ruby and it works. So, now the relationship of members and methods to classes are accessible in CodeQuery. Available in the last commit.

However, it seems that ctags does not seem to produce class inheritance information for Ruby as far as I have checked. I have asked this on StackOverflow.

I still need to improve CodeQuery to do syntax-highlighting for Ruby. But it's already usable for Ruby thanks to Starscope. When I'm done with my changes, I will place a link to Starscope along with information on how to use CodeQuery together with Starscope.
