digitalmars.D.announce - d2tags - converts DMD2's JSON output to Exuberant Ctags format

Hi,

Being happy to see issue 3415 (broken JSON format) fixed,
I have written a utility to convert DMD2's JSON output
to Exuberent Ctags format.  This enables you to tagjump in Vim
and other editors/IDEs.  It's just 150+ lines, thanks to D2's
powerful string handling.  Enjoy!

usage:
% dmd -Xftags.json foo.d
% d2tags tags.json > tags

I love it! I don't suppose you have a guide for how to get it set up and working in vim do you? I've never managed to get ctags working, even with C/C++ :/

The only tag-related configuration in my Vim setup is: set tags=./tags; in ~/.vimrc (Note the semicolon: it makes Vim look for tags file upward to the root directory).

Very useful, and a beautiful example of D scripting. I wonder if this is of enough general utility to warrant inclusion within the D distribution, along with rdmd. Thoughts? One small suggestion, Masahiro: you may want to replace the file reading loop in main() with simply std.file.readText(args[1]). Andrei

Yes please, rdmd --tags would be great.

I was thinking of including the utility as a separate program. Andrei

I think it might be better to add support to the common tools, like exuberant-ctags[1], but having it as part of rdmd or whatever could be nice too.

Yes it's very useful. How about also including the source in the examples directory?

That's a good idea, seeing as most of the examples are either for Windows, or outdated.

That's my pleasure, actually!

Done, thank you for the advice. I'm considering an enhancement: "d2tags <DIRECTORY>" reads all JSON files in the directory. However I'm not sure if it should recurse into subdirectories.

I think simpler is better. There are already tools like find on all Linux shells that could do the recursion. Ali

I'd say "d2tags <DIRECTORY>" is a lot simpler than figuring out Linux's find and combining it with d2tags.

Add a -R option, this way it will work just like exuberant-ctags =) -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that...?
