Install and use CTAG in VIM

The CTAG plug-in is mainly used to jump between variables and function definitions like in VC, so it is very convenient.

Download and install: http://down1.chinaunix.net/distfiles/ctags-5.2.3.tar.gz

Tar-xzvf ctags. xxxxxx

./Configure -- prefix = installed directory

Make; make install

Ctags-version test whether the installation is successful

 

Usage:

Ctags-R

"-R" indicates recursive creation, which includes the source program under all subdirectories under the source code root directory. The "tags" file contains a list of these objects:

L macro defined by # define

L enumerated variable value

L function definition, prototype, and Declaration

L namespace)

L type definition (typedefs)

L variables (including definitions and declarations)

Class, struct, Enum, and Union)

L class, structure, and union member variables or functions

Vim uses this "tags" file to locate the marked objects above. The following describes how to locate these objects:

1) Use the command line. Add the "-T" parameter when running vim, for example:

[/Home/Brimmer/src] $ vim-T foo_BAR

This command will open the file defining "foo_BAR" (variable or function or other), and position the cursor to this line.

2) use the ": Ta" command in the vim Editor, for example:

: Ta foo_BAR

3) the most convenient way is to move the cursor over the variable or function name, and then press "Ctrl-]". Return the original location with "Ctrl-o.

Note:When running vim, you must run it in the directory where the "tags" file is located. Otherwise, run the ": Set tags =" command to set the path of the "tags" file so that Vim can find the "tags" file.
