#40 VIM7 Autoload and Class patch

[Martin Krischik]

Vim 7 has new features and especialy the autoload
feature and the new classes confuse ctags.

For that I propose the attached patch which autoload
functions and classes are detected.

The patch is based on vimtip#1276 [1] extended to
detect autoload (file#function) functions.

I have looked at your patch. The recent changes already handle the new autoload feature of Vim7.

I don't understand what a Vim "class" is. Can you provide a vim file that demonstrates the various different forms? This would be added as part of the test suite for future versions.

I just noticed the reference to the Vim tip.
Under the current version of the Vim parser you will get the following tags:
function
MyObjectType.method1
MyObjectType.method2
variable
MyObjectType

When this line is found:
let MyObjectType = {}

We have to assume it is a variable of type Dictionary.

I don't think we can look ahead to determine if there are any functions defined on that variable.

Hi,

Have a look here:

Of course this is only one way to compose a class in Vim-Script.
