Re: [CEDET-devel] Semantic support for Vera and System Verilog languages (2)

[Andrea F. <and...@mc...>]

Addendum:

inserting

((eq class 'module)
  'function)

right before the cond default branch in semantic-ectag-parse-one-tag I 
obtained to have semantic-tag-folding-mode properly handled for modules.

Cheers,

     Andrea.
