pass extra arguments to ctags to get Visual basic definitons · oracle/opengrok#2619

2019-01-10T19:56:50.000Z

Searching for definitions/symbols in Visual Basic source code, works only for `*.bas` (module) files. For example, it does not work for `*.cls` (class module) files. In the [OpenGrok Demo](http://demo.opengrok.org/) instance, searching for [CreateFromCurl](http://demo.opengrok.org/xref/opengrok/opengrok-indexer/src/test/resources/analysis/vb/sample.cls?r=eeb7e5b3#190) subroutine in the **Definitions** [do not yield any results](http://demo.opengrok.org/search?project=opengrok&q=&defs=CreateFromCurl&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&si=defs).

研究方向: The issue requires modifying the ctags configuration to pass extra arguments for Visual Basic .cls files. Examine the ctags integration code in OpenGrok's indexer, specifically the analysis configuration for Visual Basic (likely in `opengrok indexer/src/test/resources/analysis/vb/`). The sample.cls file mentioned in the issue shows the problem. Research the ctags manual for the correct flags to handle .cls files. The existing comments in issue #2619 may provide additional guidance. The goal is to ensure definitions in .cls files are indexed and searchable.
