Re: gnu global don't work properly with erlang

Hello,

It may be solved if you use the latest Universal Ctags.

> The problem is: global can find definition, but not reference.

Because the erlang parser in Universal Ctags does not pick up references.
In fact, Universal Ctags itself has reference facility. However, since
it is a recently implemented feature, the parser has not used it yet.

> When I execute gtags in a java project, it works correctly.

Because the buit-in parser is used.
With --explain option, you can see which parser is being used.

$ gtags -v --explain

Thank you for the report.
