gtags bug: java annotations

[Gordon Grimes]

Hi,

I’ve uncovered a problem with ‘gtags’ when parsing java that include “rich” annotations.

If you run gtags as described on the sample below you’ll see what I mean.

 

Thanks,

// gtags version: gtags (GNU GLOBAL) 6.2.11

 

// Shell command: 

// % gtags.exe  -v ; gtags.exe  -v --dump GTAGS | sort -k4n

 

 

public class myClass

{

    // simple annotation; this works as expected: 'doit1' is indexed

 

    @myAnnotation

    public Something doit1()

    {

            return new Something();

    }

 

    // The addition of "=" in the annotation _expression_ confuses the parser

    // gtags indexes @myAnnotation, but not 'doit2'

    // (The parser wants to find a closing ";" .... see next)

 

    @myAnnotation(a=b)

    public Something doit2()

    {

            return new Something();

    }

 

    // adding a semicolon allows gtags to find 'doit3', but it still indexes @myAnnotation()

    // (of course we can’t simply add a “;” as the compiler will complain, but it demonstrates what

   //  gtags wants.)

 

    @myAnnotation(a=b) ;

    public Something doit3()

    {

            return new Something();

    }

 

}
