Re: Indexing c/c++ comments and text files

Hello,

You can use the functions of id-utils by the -I option of gtags and global.
Is it insufficient?

> I would like to instruct global/gtags to index c/c++ comments (and potentially other text files).
  For example, the following c++ comment text isn't currently indexed by global/gtags, but I would 
like it to be:
> 
>    // SOME_IMPORTANT_ENUM_1
>    "Some corresponding text 1",
>    
>    // SOME_IMPORTANT_ENUM_2
>    "Some corresponding text 2",
>    
>    etc.

> The comment text refers to symbols that are indexed elsewhere and I want a cross-reference search
 to return references to the comment lines above.

lly text (e.g. set those extensions up to use the text parser in id-utils' langmap).  Although I fo
und a langmap setting in the .globalrc file, it doesn't appear to have a "text" parser.
