[comp.sys.next] Objective C, GNU emacs, and TAGS files

tenny@ootool.dec.com (Dave Tenny) (02/04/91)

My editor of choice in life has always been GNU emacs.  However,
I can't seem to find an "etags" or "ctags" facility on NeXT 1.0
which will produce useful tag information which GNU emacs can use.

"ctags"  (or is it tags?) says in the man pages that it understands
objective C, but GNU Emacs doesn't understand tags files created this way.

"etags", provided with GNU emacs, don't understand objective C, so won't
find any tags which happen to be method declarations/definitions.

Has anybody found a cure?  Or have a missed some crucial piece of documentation?

Maybe the GNU people are working on one.  Objective C will be part of
GCC 2.0.
