Re: RFC deprecation of the C++ parser of gtags

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

I want to explain my thoughts a little.

The reason I want to deprecate the C++ parser is because I don't want
to send wrong information as if it is supported.

In the first place there are a lot of computer languages in the world.
we (GLOBAL development team) can't be able to support all of them.
So, we made a plug-in parser mechanism for GLOBAL. Using the mechanism,
anyone can write a parser for their favorite language and incorporate
it into GLOBAL. (see plugin-factory/)

My hope is that users will write parsers for themselves. Of course,
if you write a parser for some language, I recommend publishing it for
everyone to use. Each parser should be distributed freely and separately
from GLOBAL itself. I hope that someday the built-in parsers of GLOBAL
will be unnecessary.

Thanks,
Shigio
