I found bug in Vim 7.3 when using on Windows.
I trying to put tag file in "~\tags". but there's spaces in home
directory: "C:\Documents and Settings\Username".
When i typing ":new ~\tags", it opens.
But filereadable('~\tags') returns false (0).
I think filereadable('~\tags') isn't supposed to work, it doesn't work
on UNIX either... The following does work (at least on UNIX, which of
course requires a forward slash):
filereadable(fnamemodify('~\tags', ':p'))
Actually, filereadable('C:\Documents and Settings\Username\tags')
returns true, and i thought i would do the workaround with this, but i
wouldn't, because when i typing ":set tags=C:\Documents\ and\
Settings\Username\tags", Vim, as a smartass, automatically converts it
into "~\tags", and tags aren't readable for editor.
So, there's no way to put tags file in home directory at Windows.
AFAIK when you execute ":set tags" it will always summarize the user's
profile directory (%USERPROFILE% or $HOME) as ~. However I think I found
a related bug recently. I had to add two convoluted workarounds for the
bug to my easytags Vim plug-in:
* http://github.com/xolox/vim-easytags/commit/4fef0c1774
* http://github.com/xolox/vim-easytags/commit/3b934f6e0d
* http://github.com/xolox/vim-easytags/blob/master/easytags.vim#L122
To summarize, both of the following commands:
:let &tags = '...'
:set tags=...
Have weird and undocumented limitations on both UNIX and Windows: Added
tags files don't show up in the output of tagsfiles() and are ignored by
Vim when the 'tags' option is changed by a Vim plug-in automatically.
