Is it possible to support trace class definition, or list it as the first/top candidate about ggtags HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi richardleo,

Thanks for the bug report. Let's see if there is something to be done to improve this scenario.

If you search Htree2::Htree2, does ggtags give you better results? Try C-u M-. and feed it with Htree2::Htree2. if it does, you can customise ggtags-bounds-of-tag-function to teach ggtags how best to get tag at point.

Do you use the M-} and M-{ that moves from file to file? It could get you to Htree2::Htree2c in two steps per your screenshot.

Thanks,

Leo,

Thank you for your quick response.

C-u M-. doesn't work for Htree2::Htree2.
Yes, I use M-} and M-{, but usually it's more intuitive to have the definition at the top.

BTW, I tried the latest version, for many variables, it flashes without an output.
I found for some variables, the global command line invoked by M-. is not correct.

Again, good tool, look forward to updates.

Thanks for your development effort!

Thank you, I just fixed M-.. Let me know if there are other problems.

I just pulled a C++ project to try out. I think what you are missing (i.e. find definition for constructors) is due to the C++ parser in GNU Global. The correct course of action is to make a feature request to GNU Global, whose author seems responsive most times.

But there may be something ggtags can do? For example maybe a jump-to-first error hook? I'll think about this and get back.

Thanks,

yes, you are right. It seems to be a basic requirement for C++ programmer, I may try to ping the global guy later.
Unfortunately I don't program in elisp, mostly working on C++, otherwise I would like to contribute some efforts too.

Have a upcoming deadline now, I'll let you know my thoughts and experience.
Plus, you seems also a Chinese, www.newsmth.net has a board called "Emacs", you should advertise this tool 👍
I will recommend it to my friends.
Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words. And yes I do browse newsmth.net from time to time. Don't worry about the elisp thing. Your bugs reports are highly appreciated. - Leo
