There's an etags target in the build/Makefile:
etags tags: TAGS
However, when invoking this target, I get:
make etags make[1]: Entering directory `/home/evansl/download/gcc/4.4-20090630/build' Doing TAGS in gcc make[2]: Entering directory `/home/evansl/download/gcc/4.4-20090630/build/gcc' cd /home/evansl/download/gcc/4.4-20090630/build/../src/gcc/cp; etags -o TAGS.sub *.c *.h --language=none \ --regex='/DEFTREECODE [(]\([A-Z_]+\)/\1/' cp-tree.def; \ etags --include TAGS.sub --include ../TAGS.sub etags: Warning: "--language" option is obsolete; use "--language-force" instead etags: Unknown language "none" in "language" option etags: Unknown option: --include make[2]: *** [c++.tags] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/evansl/download/gcc/4.4-20090630/build/gcc' make[1]: *** [TAGS-gcc] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/evansl/download/gcc/4.4-20090630/build' make: *** [do-TAGS] Error 2
This does produce a TAGS.sub in the cp directory, but nowhere else, AFAICT:
-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/download/gcc/4.4-20090630/src/" -*- Compilation started at Thu Jul 23 07:21:32 find . -name TAGS.sub -ls 5985718 256 -rw-r--r-- 1 evansl evansl 257692 Jul 23 07:12 ./gcc/cp/TAGS.sub
What changes will avoid etags error message about unknown language and how do I get the TAGS.sub for the gcc directory? Oh, and BTW, does anyone find etags useful? I thought it would be useful since often I find myself using grep to find where a function or marco is defined and I thought *maybe* using emacs' etags feature would be useful; however, I've no experience with it.
