RE: Library search

[Hageseter, Trond E.]

Hi!

My problem is that the code is split in to trees. We have a source tree
/projects with all libraries common for all. In addition we have a
development tree located under /home/<name>/<projects>. 

The reason for wanting at least the -s option, is because else I can not
find defines, constants etc, that indeed are relevant even if it is a
library.

Another issue is that I can not simply run gtags under the /projects
root. The reason for this is that we have for each branch under
/projects an include catalogue that all sub-branches copies files to
when the library is tested and "ready to production". If run from root,
we would include duplicates of all header files.

ie

/projects/common/src/lib1
/projects/common/src/lib2
/projects/common/src/lib3
.
.
.
copy their .h files to

/projects/common/include

regards
trondeh

It is because the GTAGSLIBPATH's is for library search.
In general, library function doesn't call functions which belongs to
your application program. So, the -r option is not needed.
In the same way, we are not interested in symbols in library. So, the -s
option is not needed, I think.

If you feel the GTAGSLIBPATH is insufficient, you had better make
a single GTAGS like this:

        project/
                part1/GTAGS
                part2/GTAGS
                |
                v
        project/GTAGS
                part1/
                part2/

What do you think?
