I have a problem with duplicate tags. It seems that somewhere between
6.2.457-1 and 6.3.54 (which I recently upgrade to), the duplicate tag
behavior changed. It used to be that if I used ctrl-] on a function name
that it would look at the tags file in the current directory and if a match
was found it would jump to the function, but if a match wasn't found it
would check the tags file one directory up and if a match was found it would
jump to the function. Now it seems that in 6.3.54 it looks at both the tags
file in current directory and the tags file up one directory and returns all
the found matches even if they really point to the same file.
For example, if I have a directory layout like so:
~/code
~/code/module
~/code/include
~/code/common
I would run "ctags -R" in directory "code" and in each subdirectory.
Then in my .vimrc I have: set tags=./tags,./../tags
This way I could jump to a function reference no matter whether it was found
in a file in the current directory (let's say I'm in ~/code/module) or if it
was found in another directory (~/code/include).
If the function was found in a file in the current directory it used to be
that it would just jump to it without giving me a list of matches. Now it
gives me a list of matches based on what is in the current tags file and the
tags file up a level. Like so:
# pri kind tag file
1 F f config_load config.c
int config_load(const char *fname)
2 F f config_load /home/jason/code/module/config.c
int config_load(const char *fname)
This is the same file! The first entry is from the current directory tags
file and the second entry is from the upper level tags file. I want it so
if a match is found in the current directory tags file to just use that. It
worked this way before upgrading to 6.3.54 and I would like this behavior
back.
I've looked at the help and I've been unable to find an option to enable the
old behavior. Does anyone know how I can get this old behavior back without
having to downgrade to 6.2.457.1?
