Re: [Ctags] XML output

[Jim R. <Jim...@dy...>]

Darren:

  Brad King of Kitware has patched GCC 3.0 to support the generation of
XML output.  See http://public.kitware.com/GCC_XML/HTML/Download.html
for download instructions.  His stuff is really cool, but it has the
requirement that the code be parseable by GCC.  CTAGS is much more
forgiving because it's not a full-blown compiler.  With respect to XML
and CTAGS, I very much prefer your idea of providing CTAGS as a library
under the LGPL so that others can leverage off of it to suit their own
purposes.  If you go to trouble of doing this, it would be nice if you
made the library reentrant.
