<p>Sharing parser code between Geany and u-ctags (= making ctags a library)  is in progreass.<br>
(The pull request for sharing was opened by <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=713965" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/techee">@techee</a>, and I merged them slowly.)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I got a question about interface when an issue, <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="468399003" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/2143" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/2143/hovercard" href="https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/2143">universal-ctags/ctags#2143</a>, was opened.</p>
<p>Does adding a new kind to an existing parser of u-ctags impact on the interface and Geany behind the interface?</p>
<p>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.<br>
When I add a new kind to u-ctags, I guess the conversion table must be updated.</p>
