VIM Ada Mode - "Unfulfilling"?

VIM Ada Mode - "Unfulfilling"?

[Martin Krischik]

Hello,

Someone voted the VIM Ada Mode [1] down as "Unfulfilling". I am dismay. I am
in a stage of utter shock. What did I do wrong?

Ok, let's have it: what did not work out? Where is the bug? Speak up man!!

It wasn't me at least :-) I just saw your vimball and I'll install it
when I get home. One question though. I see that you say that taglist
can expand the usability. In my experience taglist didn't support Ada.
It works very well with Python and is a very nice tool, but with Ada I
get nothing.

What is the trick to get Ada (or gnat) to work with taglist?

Keep up the good work!

Taglist supports any language which Ctags supports. All Taglist need is a
list of type (procedure, package, task, etc, pp) which Ctags generates when
parsing a language.

The trick is the Ada support for Ctags. After that it is just a matter of
setting up on the type-list (No big deal, mostly copy/paste the type-list
from Ctags). The GNU Ada project [1] has a fully patched Ctags and Taglist
(as part of the VIM package) for SuSe and Fedora available for download.
For other systems download source packages.

We also have a screenshot of the result:

Good work!
Are the patches submitted to the exhuberant ctags people? It would be
nice if it included Ada support by default and that one do not need a
specific patch to get it to work.

Yes. You can track the progress (or the lack of it) here:
