why I can't locate "_Alloc_traits" in STL source files with vim and ctags?


I have run ctags -R and I can locate every tag but _Alloc_traits with Ctrl-]. It shows E257: cstag : tag not found.


Solution

  • Unfortunately the development of Exuberant Ctags is stagnant. I would advise you to try the version available here. If the tag you're looking for is still not created please create an issue including the code where _alloc_traits is defined and a fixed update will very likely be quickly released.

    Note: this version will fork into Universal Ctags sometime in the near future because the original author of Exuberant Ctags is unwilling to cooperate for a code merge.
