[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Question: adding a kind to exising parser of u-ctags (#2227)

[Masatake YAMATO]

Sharing parser code between Geany and u-ctags (= making ctags a library)  is in progreass.
(The pull request for sharing was opened by @techee, and I merged them slowly.)

I, a head maintainer of u-ctags, must take care not breaking the interface between Geany and u-ctags when introducing a change to u-ctags.

I got a question about interface when an issue, https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/2143, was opened.

Does adding a new kind to an existing parser of u-ctags impact on the interface and Geany behind the interface?

As far as I know, Geany converts u-ctags parser native-kinds to  parser neutral abstracted kinds to use the result of u-ctags. Geany may have a table for the kinds conversion.
When I add a new kind to u-ctags, I guess the conversion table must be updated.
