[Ctags] C++ virtual function overrides in separate files

[Marc L. <la...@ua...>]

Hi,

I'm using gvim and ctags. I have multiple source and header files. A 
function acts on a polymorphic type, and I want to jump to the method's 
definition:

void func(Base * ptr)
{
   // ...
   base->my_func(); // <-- I want to jump the definition of "my_func"
}

where the rest of my code is setup as described below.

In gvim, the Ctrl+] should bring me to the definition of 
Base::my_func(), but it doesn't. It brings me to the definition of 
Sub2::my_func in sub2.cpp.

Can I achieve what I'm trying to using ctags? If so, how?

[in basefile.cpp]

class Base {
public:
   virtual void my_func() = 0;
};

[in sub1.h]

class Sub1 : public Base
{
public:
   virtual void my_func();
}

[in sub2.h]

class Sub2 : public Base
{
public:
   virtual void my_func();
}

[in sub1.cpp]

void Sub1::my_func() { /* my impl */ }

[in sub2.cpp]

void Sub2::my_func() { /* my impl */ }

Thanks,
Marc
