[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Ctags sync rebased (#2666)

[Jiří Techet]

> Depending on what the patch you're talking about involves, would you think upstream would accept a mean of selecting which method is used? It actually could make sense to use their hash version when generating tag files so there's no (likely) duplicates, but use plain numbers when generating a TOC, so maybe there could be an option somehow. Just a thought.

The patch is not something too horrible, something like 80LOCs, but not some trivial one-liner so better to post it separaterly. Basically it just simply goes through the tags and renames the anonymous ones the way we need but in addition, we also have to update scopes where these tags are involved.

Updating upstream ctags is an option too, I was just worried about "polluting" ctags with things which are too specific for Geany use.

And even if we kept the current few-line patch, it isn't a too terrible thing either.
