Re: Feature request: file list

Hi,
I will add new config variable 'gtags_hook' for gtags(1).

gtags_hook (command line)
Specify a command line which should be executed before the gtags's
job.  "./" in it always means the project root directory, since
gtags is always invoked there.

This hook might realize your requirement.

------------------------------------------------
[gtags.conf]
------------------------------------------------
:gtags_hook=./gen.sh < spec.in > gtags.files:

------------------------------------------------
[gen.sh]
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while read line
do
case $line in
*/) line=`echo $line | sed 's!/$!!'` # remove '/'
                find $line -type f -print
;;
*) eval "echo $line"
;;
esac
done

------------------------------------------------
[spec.in]
------------------------------------------------
src/lib/test.c
src/$VAR/test.h
src/system/

------------------------------------------------

The contents of the 'gtags.files' will be something like this.

src/lib/test.c
src/bbbbb/test.h
src/system/a.c
src/system/b.h

What do you think?

Regards,
Shigio
