Since PR #3859 (2d1b3d5), specifically since baaed02, which merges ctags#3471 and #3473 (among others), Geany's tagmanager adds a "module" tag for instances of a module (in addition to the "instance" tag for the instance itself, which Geany didn't show in the tree view until #4039).
Example code:
module outer_module (input D, output Q);
inner_module inst (D, Q);
endmodule
Before baaed02: | After baaed02: |
---|---|
Geany_before_baaed02.png (view on web) | Geany_after_baaed02.png (view on web) |
For an analogy, this is like having the C code struct inner_struct foo;
tag both inner_struct
and foo
as struct/variable declarations (but it's not defining a struct type, just using it).
This seems to be caused by ctags now creating a reference tag whenever it declares an instance, referencing the corresponding module, and Geany erroneously(?) interpreting that reference tag as a normal tag. But I don't know enough about ctags to know what's going on for sure, nor what's the proper way to handle it (other than refraining from creating a reference tag).
Is there a way to fix this? It looks like #3102 might be related to this kind of issue.
