Hi Eric,

thanks for your reply.

I am working on this now, I have now changed my emacs file to use the symbol
global rather than the string pointing to the executable. i.e.

##.emacs##
(setq-default semantic-symref-tool 'global)
##END .emacs##

So now I am testing things out...

I run:
> M-x semantic-symref RET
in some function (let's call it someFunction, and I get the buffer:
> *Symref someFunction

in this buffer I can see:

>d:/a/b/c/header1.h
>  [+] class SomeClass {}
>d:a/b/c/header2.h
>  [+] class SomeOtherClass {}
>d:a/b/c/header3.h
>  [+] class SomeOtherOtherClass {}
>d:a/b/c/source1.cpp
>  [+] void aTotallyDifferentFunction( int a, int b)

Where source1.cpp contains aTotallyDifferentFunction() which actually calls
someFunction. So, this all seems fine so far.

Then, in that *Symref buffer I run:
> M-x semantic-symref-data-debug-last-result RET

I get something like this in a new buffer (*Symbol Reference ADEBUG*):

> ] Name: "someFunction"
> ] Class: #'semantic-symref-result
> ] :created-by #<semantic-symref-tool-global semantic-symref-tool-global>
> ] :hit-files #unbound
> ] :hit-text #unbound
> ] :hit-lines #<list o' stuff: 4 entries>
> ] :hit-tags #<TAG LIST: 4 entries>

Is this using GTAGS?

*** PS: Notice that I have not manually instantiated a gtags object. I did
not use:
> M-: (semantic-symref-instantiate) RET

^^^^^ Does this matter? If it does, should I put it in my .emacs file.

Thanks.
