[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add ADA ctags parser (PR #3166)

[elextr]

Its literally, erm ... decades since I did any Ada, and I am not sure how much the language may have changed since then, but IIRC it doesn't have any more complex types than any other modern OO language, C++, Go, Rust etc but it does allow lots of constraints on them.  But constraints are not of interest to ctags so (from a quick squiz at ada.c) they are simply skipped.  Same with renames etc.  

So the actual parser "copes" by ignoring. :smile: Only composite type definitions need their contents parsing.

The underlying Ada syntax is far more consistent than C/C++ so extracting the parts of interest is simpler than for those languages so I am not surprised the parser is simpler than the new C++ parser.

That said @kugel- is probably right that the tests don't cover all the options, but Ada users can always PR more tests upstream.
