Re: [Geany] Geany autocompletion

[Sebastien Berthiaume]

HI Lex,

thanks for the quick response.

Your example is almost as it, the only difference, and I don't know if it 
matters but my structure definition is as follow


IN FILE toto.h
typedef struct
{
int blah;
int foo;
}myStruct_t;



IN FILE toto.c
#include toto.h

void TestFct(void)
{
    myStruct_t    a;

    a- (here I would expect to see blah and foo being suggested by Geany) 
}


For the platform I'm on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 and using Geany 1.22

Thanks in advance

Hi,


I was wondering, I'm trying to set the autocompletion in Geany and I have some 
problem.


I tryied to generate a tag file using the command:


geany -g [file.tags] [*.c *.h] (from my source folder)


Then I load it using the Menu-Tools-Load Tags command.


But, it does not display any possiblities when I type [myStruct-] other than 
the one found in the local file...


BUT, if I right click on my structure and go to Go to tag definitions it 
open the right files and show me the possibilities. Thus, I guess my tag file 
is ok.


Can someone explain me why, I can't get the autocompletion to look for the 
definitions and offer me choices?

Just to be sure, you have something like

struct fred {
  int blah; 
  int foo;
};

in a file that is fed to the geany -g mytags.c.tags 

You have loaded the mytags.c.tags file automatically or manually ( and 
menu-help-debug messages has a message saying it loaded)

In some file (other than the one above) you have

struct fred b;

when you type b- you don't get blah and foo as options?

You have not said what version or platform you are using, but the above works 
on the current git version on Linux.

All the above declarations must be top level for it to work, it is noted in the 
manual that it won't work for local declarations.

Finally you can't goto a declaration that is in a tag file, the tags 
information doesn't include the file the tag is from.

Cheers
Lex



Thanks

Hello,

Maybe it is unrelated but the variable 'a' is not a pointer, so using
'-' on it is not legal - maybe try with '.' (a dot).

As Lex pointed out, this currently doesn't work with local variables,
and a is a local variable.  This is a limitation of the C/C++/Java
parser that doesn't emit tags for local variables.
