Re: So for C++ support should one use "universal-ctags"? What are the current limitations?

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
Unfortunately, there is currently no maintainer for this.
I'm rather thinking of using Universal ctags in the future.

The reason for thinking so is
o Universal ctags can be used as a plug-in parser of gtags(1).
o Universal ctags is well maintained.
o Little known, but Universal ctags can treat references.
  However, there is no parser which uses that function yet.

Either way, what's missing is the parser writer.

Regards,
Shigio
