I've fixed the VHDL symbols, two patches are attached for src/symbols.c and tagmanager/vhdl.c.
Thanks, applied.
I tried creating a tags file for auto-completing functions in standard IEEE VHDL packages (similar to having gtk tags). I've done this by adding vhdl.tags in to /usr/share/geany but this doesn't work. I copied c99.tags to vhdl.tags and that didn't work either so presumably I need to add something else somewhere to get this working. What do I need to do?
Check the manual - it should be called something like std.vhdl.tags and placed in /usr/share/geany/tags or ~/.config/geany/tags.
I'd like to create symbols for Verilog as well. If I copy vhdl.c and change it as needed and modify the symbols.c to pickup Verilog files. Will these symbols get picked up or do I need to get geany to recognise Verilog files. Also, how to get geany to do syntax highlighting for Verilog.
It sounds like you want a new filetype for Verilog as it seems this is quite different from VHDL. See the HACKING file for how to add a filetype. There is a Verilog tag parser in the ctags project you could adapt and a lexer for highlighting in the Scintilla project src directory.
