I do my Pascal development using GVim and tag files generated with Exuberant Ctags. I am underwhelmed by the support for Pascal as a language relative to ones like the C languages that are tied to the history of the Vi editor family. Exuberant Ctags will generate a tag file for classic Pascal code, but only stand-alone functions and procedures are supported. There is no support for generating tags for variables of any kind. Also, there is not support for object oriented Pascal. This is what I mean by stand-alone functions and procedures. Any use of dot notation with functions or procedures is ignored. Better support for prioritizing IMPLEMENTATION versus INTERFACE sections would also be a plus. Anyone know of any better options for navigating Pascal source code from a classic or general purpose programmer's text editor? Ideal would be a better way of generating tag files. I don't suppose anyone has considered getting Cscope to work with Pascal source code? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
