Re: ctags for standard C library

Thanks,

But I think I write my own plugin, cause this is overkill to me. A
file size of more than 250 MB is just a waste. Writing a plugin which
analizes included header files and ctags them one by one is a better
approach. When adding an include file, Vim will automatically ctags
that particular file by first looking if it's already done that,
otherwise look in the project and than in /user/include, /usr/local/
include.

This will ctag also self created source files.
