in reply to General tagging support
in thread How to find all the available functions in a file or methods in a module?

Yes, an IDE neutral "standard" would be wonderful. Given the momentum of Padre at the moment, hope the lower layers of it will be fully reusable across other editors.

Regarding exporting, I think that just declaring method names would be too limited for some uses.

For instance, for refactorings (let's say "Rename Attribute"), the refactoring code needs to know not just the name, but which part of the source tree specifies the name.

    well, ctags is quite independent, extendebal and universaly used. But AFAIS it relies on regex-patterns, which is to limited for perl... but better than nothing.

    By intuition I think perl-parsing needs to compile the code like flymake-mode in emacs does to find syntax errors. (hmmm...does it?)

    But the "IDE-logic" per module should be supplied by the module/submodule. This way one could decide which module to use dependend on it's IDE support.

    of course not, the intention of the OP is just a peace of the spektrum. : )

    Cheers
