ctagssidekick with VHDL files

Submitted by timxdunn on Thursday, 18 February, 2010 - 20:12

Hello,

I am new to the forum and I have a problem with the ctagssidekick plugin. I am trying to use it with VHDL files but after parsing all it finds are the entity name and any constants that I may have defined.
Has anyone got any experience of how to set up the ctagssidekick to work with VHDL?

You don't have to setup the plugin (except the path to ctags.exe) but to configure ctags because ctags doesn't have built-in support for VHDL. Please take a look at the CtagsSideKick plugin and ctags documentation.

Robert,
Thanks for your help.
I have set up the path to the ctags.exe, and it works for C++.
According to the ctags website (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/languages.html) vhdl is supported.
I was hoping that someone had done this before me and could set me on the path to righteousness.

You can try the following:

Add to home_directory_of_jedit/ctags.cnf (or create this file, if it does not exist) the following lines:


--langdef=vhdl
--langmap=vhdl:.vhd.vhdl
--regex-vhdl=/^([ \t]*(.*):[ \t]*)(process\b([^\§]*))(\§\:([0-9]+))?[ \t]*/-  PS:\6  \2/All/i
--regex-vhdl=/^[ \t]*.*((lib)rary|(--<))[ \t]*(.*)/\2\3  \4/All/i
--regex-vhdl=/^.*:([^:]*)PORT[ \t]+MAP\b(.*)/P'MAP \1/All/i


Hopefully, the forum's editor does not change the above lines...

Yes You're right. I haven't been up to date with my ctags.exe (version 5.6). Now, with version 5.8, VHDL is supported. So, normally it should work out of the box.
