I have two files in a single directory, a.c and b.c each with a function "foo". If in emacs I am looking at file b.c and search for tag "foo", it goes to the definition of "foo" in file a.c. This is not what I believe is expected given from man mage:
" [0] If the start is a file, output of local search in the file."
And indeed, this is confirmed by:
$ global -v --result=grep --color=always --nearness --path-style=shorter --from-here=9:b.c foo
a.c:1:static int foo() {
b.c:1:static int foo() {
2 objects located (using '/home/gthaker/ggtags-testing/GTAGS').
I expected that from b.c it would find definition in file b.c above the one in a.c (but in lexical sorting a.c comes before b.c so it is going there.)
files are as below:
:::::::::::::
a.c
::::::::::::::
static int foo() {
return 3;
}
main() {
int x;
x = foo();
}
::::::::::::::
b.c
::::::::::::::
static int foo() {
return 3;
}
main() {
int x;
x = foo();
}
