[GHC] #16274: Remove ghctags
#16274: Remove ghctags -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ulysses4ever | Owner: (none) Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: None | Version: 8.6.3 Keywords: newcomer | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This was suggested by Ben in the ghc-devs list. Does anyone desire to preserve it? As a newcomer, I think the existence of dead tools adds confusion. I didn't know what to peek at some point (try make etags work / hasktags / ghctags). I tentatively mark this as a newcomer task. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16274 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

It's a bit sad given no-one seems to be using this tool. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16274#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

We have much better tools for generating tags much more accurately and faster these days. I currently use these commands currently which work pretty well: {{{ # Generate compiler tags $ fast-tags --no-module-tags driver ghc compiler -R +RTS -N # Generate RTS tags $ ctags --append -R rts/**/*.c rts/**/*.h includes/**/*.h # Generate library + compiler tags $ fast-tags --no-module-tags driver ghc compiler libraries -R +RTS -N }}} I have a few other commands as well for different variations of which files to tag. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16274#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
