[Github-comments] [geany/geany] New tagmanager query module (#1187)

[Jiří Techet]

I don't know but I still find it a bit too heavy-weight for what you use it for. Wouldn't it be sufficient to just extend some tag array utility functions and make them accessible for plugins? These two

```
GPtrArray *tm_tags_extract();
void tm_tags_sort();
```

could be changed to e.g.

```
GPtrArray *tm_tags_extract(GPtrArray *tags_array, gchar *name, gchar *scope, gboolean prefix, TMParserType lang, TMTagType tag_types);
void tm_tags_sort(GPtrArray *tags_array, TMTagAttrType *sort_attributes, gboolean dedup);
```

plus maybe add

```
GPtrArray *tm_tags_concat(GPtrArray *array1, GPtrArray *array2);
```

to concatenate two tag arrays. You will be able to apply them on arbitrary tag arrays (global or non-global) or if you wanted logical `or`, you could run several tm_tags_extract(), concat the results and run tm_tags_sort() on the result.
