Function name in status bar

[Salvatore Benedetto]

Hi,

is it possible to have the function name, while editing a C/C++ file
in the status bar (or whatever it's called) beside the opened file
and the line number?

Regards,

If you are using taglist plugin, there is such ability. Just open :help taglist.txt and search for "status line".

Here is an example from taglist help file:

    :set statusline=%<%f%=%([%{Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line()}]%)

Looks pretty nice, at least in .c files.

Hmm, I extraced the taglist plugin under ~/.vim/ as per the
instructions and updated my statusline setting in ~/.vimrc so it looks
like this:

set statusline=%<%#MyGitBranch#%{GitBranchInfoString()}%*\
%f%=%([%{Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line()}]%)\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P

(If this mailer wraps that line it's actually all on one line in my ~/.vimrc)

Yet I see *nothing* printed out on my statusline when editing .c
files, and I even manually:

:so ~/.vim/plugin/taglist.vim

.... just in case, but that had no effect for the statusline. I can
use other features of the taglist plugin whether I manually source it
or not, so I know it's loading up just fine.

Any ideas why I might not see the function name?

Thanks!

Yes - from the beginning function name is empty.

I'm not expert in taglist, so I can just make an assumption.  I suppose, plugin automatically updates its dictionary files only when taglist window is visible.

I was succeeded to show function name using ":TlistAddFiles %"

So - that task can be automated somehow :)

Any other way beside taglist plugin?

Because I don't use it, I just use ctags and cscope, which
should be the equivalent to taglist if I understood correctly
the plugin after a quick read.

Thannks to all for the replies.

There is this one, which I use.

ctags.vim : Display function name in the title bar and/or the status line
