SYNOPSIS

ctags ... --languages=+Tcl ...
ctags ... --language-force=Tcl ...
ctags ... --map-Tcl=+.tcl ...

DESCRIPTION

TAGGING LANGUAGE OBJECTS OF OO EXTENSIONS

A pattern, "namespace import oo" in an input file activates the TclOO parser. A pattern, "namespace import itcl" in an input file activates the ITcl parser.

There are cases that one of the OO extensions is used though neither pattern are appeared in an input file.

Consider the following input files:

"main.tcl"

package require Itcl
namespace import itcl::*
source input.tcl

"input.tcl"

class MyClass {
        public method foo {} {
        }
}

The pattern for activating the ITcl parser is not appeared in "input.tcl" though "class" command is used. As a result, ctags cannot extract "MyClass".

The parameters TclOO.forceUse=true|[false] and ITcl.forceuse=true|[false] for handling this situation. With the parameter, you can force ctags to activate one of the subparsers.

You can use the parameters like --param-ITcl.forceuse=true in a command-line.

Note that you can enable only one of ITcl parser or TclOO parser. Enabling both parsers with specifying the parameters can cause unexpected results.
