Plans for the future


Plans of the highest priority are listed first.

  • Make --literal option available for all commands which accept a pattern.
  • Support of ack style output format.
  • Remove restriction of the length of a variable identifier (currently < 512).
  • Treat variable definitions as a definition tag (GTAGS).
  • New option of global(1) to exclude some directories from the search.
  • Support of tag type. (like Exuberant Ctags)
  • Callees search: given a `tag' name, lists all definition tags called in its definition.
  • Callers search: given a `tag' name, lists all definition tags that call/reference it.
  • Support of class hierarchy.
  • Support of tag stack per window. Currently tag stack is only one per emacs. (gtags.el)
  • ANSI C mode in C parser.
  • Support of glob pattern for path name search (global -P).
  • The --dynamic option generates not only index pages but also source code pages.
  • Ttags(1) command.
    Ttags(1) is similar to htags(1) but generates a TeX source for a book instead of a hypertext.
  • Support of multi-bytes code set.
  • Rewrite built-in parsers using flex(1) completely.
  • Rewrite the CGI program using C language instead of Perl.
  • Support of gtags-query-replace (gtags.el).
  • Visual interface using GUI.
Any contributions are appreciated. Please see contribution.
