Hi, more than a year ago I enhanced hasktags. Now I had another look at my code ensuring that it finds at least as many tags as the hackage implementation does. It also adds a small test suite ensuring progress. So let me know how well it works for you. If some tags aren't found send me a test case so that I can add it to the test suite. Where to get it from: darcs get http://mawercer.de/~marc/my-hasktags So what's different ? - it finds more tags (see details below) - it adds tag kinds (vim only) Example: SpacingCombiningMark ./2/testcase2.hs 154;" cons Surrogate ./2/testcase2.hs 175;" cons TitlecaseLetter ./2/testcase2.hs 150;" cons UppercaseLetter ./2/testcase2.hs 148;" d digitToInt ./2/testcase2.hs 131;" ft digitToInt ./2/testcase2.hs 132;" fi cons = contstructor ft = funtion type fi = function implementation m = module - adds the flag --ignore-close-implementation eg if you have abc,def :: Int abc = 7 {- 20 line comment .. -} def = 8 abc is added once (because the type definition and the implementation is very close) but def is added twice because you may want to jump to either one directly. That's important because :tjump (vim) won't bother you asking you which one to take. So the list of tags is shorter in general. details about finding more tags: a) it finds more tags -> [1] Example (by testcase) 1) module Main where import Text.JSON func = ... using this strange indentation the hackage hasktags fails horribly (test case 1) 2) from Data.Char #ifndef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ isAsciiUpper, isAsciiLower :: Char -> Bool isAsciiLower c = c >= 'a' && c <= 'z' isAsciiUpper c = c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z' #endif this isAsciiUpper isn't found by the hackage version for some reason 4) the basic rootLoggerName isn't found! module System.Log.Logger rootLoggerName = "" 5) Saying those aren't found isn't quite true. the hackage version just doesn't remove the parenthesis and adds (@?) to the tag file. 8) ABCD isn't found because of this parenthesis class (Show a) => (ABCD a) where Again (ABCD is found instead. You can test this yourself by running my testsuite (cd testcases; sh test.sh) Marc Weber
