Re: Not all languages enabled in Exuberant Tags

I finally understand.
You probably have something like this set to disable C:

[~/.ctags.d/any.ctags]
-----------------------------------
--languages=3D-C
-----------------------------------

Right? With the above settings, I was able to reproduce
your results. It is a bug.

I agree with you. Since gtags only uses ctags as a parser,
I think it's easier to use if you ignore the ctags settings
and prioritize the gtags settings.

I'd like to wait a week or so to get other people's opinions
before I make any changes to the code.

Regards,
Shigio
