The Linux kernel source tree has a nice "make tags" command you can use, which is set up to run ctags only on your current architecture. -> smaller tags file, and fewer multiple matches. For me, this is 42 MB (ctags -R) vs. 13 MB (make tags). Also, you shouldn't (TM) have to search the tags file yourself. Emacs & vi & vim have commands such as "show me the file this symbol is in", with just a few keystrokes, and the editor will do the grunt work of searching the tags file for you, as well as getting you back where you came from ("tag stack"). All you have to do is tell the editor where the tags file is. (Sorry to be vague on *how*, but I'm a vim user & so I can't tell you the syntax for Emacs.) -----Original Message----- From: David Weeks [mailto:dweeks02@tampabay.rr.com] Sent: Friday, June 28, 2002 5:35 PM To: Kerl, John Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: Twister chipset... other stuff... sheesh... OK, I ctags -R the source tree, getting a 28meg tag file, and searched it in emacs. Sheeshhsh... I've got a dotcom network to admin., php/postgres/ssh apps to develop, and all the business crap needed to "run" a business to deal with. (you know, all that gov crap that's got nothing to do with making YOUR OWN living.) Basically I want to use this laptop as a proof of concept demo to all the un-free masses out there who think linux is bad cause (Apple using) Rush Limbaugh sez so. But a laptop with NO power management and NO sound is the proof of concept the Evil people would like me to show. This sucks. John, thanks for the ctags tip. It helped now, and will even more in the future. Dave PS -- I'm damned tired of manufactures NOT supporting us.
