[CEDET-devel] Parser support for 5 new languages.

[Eric M. L. <er...@si...>]

Hi all,

  I refactored some of the exuberant ctags support today to make it
easier to add support for new languages in Semantic.  It is now very
easy.

  I found a few misc source files for these languages, and gave them a
preliminary parsing test, and they got their blue line decorations.
They seem ok, but what do I know?

  In CVS, the old configuration for ctags is the same, but I split it
into two groups.  You can now turn on support for any languages where
ctags is the primary parser like this:

 (semantic-load-enable-primary-exuberent-ctags-support)

  This won't enable a ctags backend for C++, which has proved to be a
unreliable.

  Now supported by this are the following languages:

sh-mode (this was done before.)
asm-mode
fortran-mode
pascal-mode
perl-mode
tcl-mode

  I have code for, but did not test, nor in some cases did I find a
major mode for, some these languages:

basic-mode
lua-mode
rexx-mode
vera-mode
verilog-mode
asp-mode
awk-mode
cobol-mode
eiffel-mode
sql-mode

  To enable one of these, uncomment two pretty obvious lines in
cedet/semantic/ctags/semantic-ectag-lang.el

  If you use any of these languages, it would be great if you could
give it a try!  Let me know of any success you may have, or, of
course, any patches needed to make things a little better.

Thanks!
Eric
