Hi all, I was wondering if ctags support for go exists?

[Kyle Lemons]

On the go dashboard projects page, there are three projects listed under "Tag Generators"

Or, a google search for "golang ctags" leads to (I think) the same projects.  Note that when using Google to search for go info, you'll often have to use "golang" instead of "go."

You may also want to check out gocode if you're looking for code completion in vim, emacs, etc.

This is not programming topic.

When you search for "golang" groups under groups.google.com search, golang-nuts is not listed at all in the search result.

Thank you for the excellent advice all.  Appreciated.

Hi,

Hi all, I was wondering if ctags support for go exists?

You can add simple support for new languages in .ctags. Here's one for go functions:
   
    --langdef=Go
    --langmap=Go:.go
    --regex-Go=/func[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/d,definition/

HTH,

Thanks for pointing this out.
We had removed it from the list back when we were
having serious spam problems. I've set it to appear
in the search results again, but I think it may take
a little while before it gets reindexed.
