[Geany-devel] Exuberant Ctags Support

[Matthew Brush]

Hi,

I started working on support for reading Exuberant Ctags files.  The 
commit message sums up most of the details I hope.  If anyone wants to 
try it out and/or review the code, that would be much appreciated.

The relevant commit is here on my 'ctags-support' branch:
https://github.com/codebrainz/geany/commit/a642077c47ea444e9b13b9d2ad244be0866b562c

Or the attached patch has the same information.

I haven't tested a whole lot but it seems to be working well, allowing 
colourizing of the tags and auto-completion.  It doesn't (yet) get the 
arguments list for functions (haven't found a clean way yet), so the 
calltips for function tags are pretty useless.

There is still much to be done, but it's a good start.

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
