Someone know a version Exuberant CTags with support for Ada ?

I forked ctags and added support directly from the matreska repo (IIRC), I
can't quite remember where it came from right now honestly: <https://
github.com/rtyler/ctags>
Cheers

Well, I ran autoconf, then configure, but configure ended with a:
> config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in'
Make failed, obviously.
But don't mind, as this is really far from being life‑and‑death emergency.
Would just be convenient for use with Gedit (Ubuntu default editor), as I
don't use GPS.
Thanks for your contribution

It works :) Wanted to have a quick overview of the ada.c you added to this
fork, but it's a longer file I though, will have to get some time to read
it a bit seriously.
I will have to later fix the outliner plugins I use with Gedit, as it
displays everything as a raw list without branch. At least, symbols are
there.
Have a sweet night if its time for you

What specification or reference did you used for Ada tag kinds code ?
An example: you use 'f' for formal/generic formal parameters, while the
exuberant-ctags standard use it for function/method.
Finally, I feel I will fix ada.c from your fork, rather the gedit plugin
which seems nice. I don't want to introduce exceptional cases for Ada in
that file, and instead map Ada tags to standard exuberant-ctags tags
specification.
Will tell you if I did, but I will have to look deeper to see if some
standard for Ada tag kinds already exist. That's why I would like to know
more about the reference or standard you used (to know if you used one).

As a quick overview. I understood you used something originally made for
VIM:
http://gnuada.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnuada/tags/ctags-ada-mode-4.3.11/ada.c?revision=977&view=markup
This use the exact same tag kinds as yours
But the reference says:
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/FORMAT

*should be extended* This is very important to underline. Here, the ctags
for Ada used by VIM happily overwrite every thing. They did not follow the
CTags reference.
Interestingly, I could find some one else, who tried to follow the CTags
standard, and cleanly mapped Ada semantic to these, without any dangerous
overwriting:
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Ada/comp.lang.ada/2004-08/0108.html
To come back to a previous example, he, used 'f' for function and
procedure.
That's a mess, there seems to be no respect for standard at all. Famous
people don't follow the standard, and the one who followed the standard,
is an unknown guy and has probably no influence.

BTW, shouldn't this be included in ctags proper?

You could have asked for access to the original. No need for a fork.
