Summary: Need help with -R option

Initial Comment:
I noticed that applying the -R option while building the 

cscope database does not yield the correct result for 

C++ source files.

As as example, consider the following directory structure:

% cd base

% ls

tmp1.cpp

tmp2.cpp

sub_dir1

sub_dir2

% ls sud_dir1

tmp3.cpp

tmp4.cpp

%ls sub_dir2

tmp5.cpp

tmp6.cpp



Building the database from the "base" directory with 

the "-R" option does not include the .cpp files in the sub 

directories "sub_dir1" and "sub_dir2"

%cd base

%cscope -R *.cpp



If the source files were ".c", then everything works 

perfect!



Pls. let me know how to get around this problem.



regards,

Thanks again... just for completeness sake for anybody 

running into this problem again - instead of using the -R 

option use:

find /dir-path-name/ -type f  \(-name '*.cpp' -o -name '*.c' 

\) -print > cscope.files



and then cscope!

Cscope doesn't really support C++ very well.  Among the

things it doesn't do is to actively search for C++ files in

its default search algorithm.  If you want C++ files to be

parsed, you'll have to tell cscope about it: for simple

cases



	cscope *.cpp



for more complicated ones



	find -type f -name '*.cpp' > cscope.files

	cscope
