Re: [comp.emacs.xemacs] etags.el (21.4.14) does not recognize C++ member definitions
One more stone against tags-def-pattern. (XEmacs 21.5)
Adding a new language to etags.el is a pain :(
I found no obvious ways of where and how to customize in etags.el in order to
add support for a new language. Had to hack it and re-write for my needs :(
May be I'm missing something?
