[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Upstream or alternative solution for ctags regex parsers (#2119)

[Jiří Techet]

> @techee @masatake what about Geany's c.c having a lot of extra stuff (even extra languages IIUC)? I don't watch uctags much, but last I looked any attempt to import that was abandoned.

Well, that will definitely not be done by me :-). However, I think that the first step for Geany could be to switch to the new cxx parser for C/C++ and not to use the parser of these languages from c.c. Then the C/C++ portion of c.c could be removed completely and I think especially C++ contributes by the largest amount of code. The same could be done with the upstream c.c and it might be much easier to merge what remains.
