[comp.windows.news] enhanced pstags facility

siegel@booga.Eng.Sun.COM (Josh Siegel) (11/15/90)

I am looking for some people who will be willing to "beta"
my new/stronger/faster pstags facility.  In short,  it gives
you the ability to jump to any class or any method within
a class easily.

It generates both vi and emacs tags files.  

The emacs mode is the mode where the stuff really flys.  I have
written lots of elisp code to make looking for tags easier. Included
is a "enhanced" psh mode which makes use of the cmu comint facility.

You can do things like (in a "psh" buffer):

  /r ClassCanvas [] classbegin
  /blort { 1 2 3 } def
  classend def

and then do:
  M-x psh-goto-tag
  Class: r
  method: new

it it will correctly figure it out (taking you to the correct
source code in ClassObject).  Going to Class r method blort
will cause emacs to popup a new buffer with the definition of
blort extracted from the server so you can edit it.

Anybody interested in being my beta site?
