Ctags Can't tag SDL/SDL2 functions

Using Ctag to jump to function decleration. Works fine for everything but not with SDL functions.

I used ctags -R . command to generate the tagfile in /usr/include/ file to generate tag file. And added set tags+=/usr/include/tags to .vimrc file so that vim can find and use it.

Which works fine for everything else and SDL struct and definde but can't find any function.

Like SDL2/SDL_render.h file there are a lot of struct and function but in the tag file there are only found the structure's and function's. see the ctag generated tag here

So, How to solve this?

Solution

  • seems the command ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extras=+q . running in /usr/include/ folder fixed the issue.
