Ghc Tags Compiler Plugin

A Ghc Compiler Plugin which generates tags for each compiled module or component. The source tree is left unmodified.

Usage

ghc -plugin-package=ghc-tags-plugin -fplugin=Plugin.GhcTags

If you're using cabal, at this point you will need to add ghctags to every 'build-depends' in every *.cabal file. That's unfortunate state of the eco-system right now. You can add ghc-options to your cabal.project.local file for each cabal project, e.g. (note that you'll need to update the CURRENT_GIT_TAG below)

project someproject
    ghc-options: -fplugin=Plugin.GhcTags


source-repository-package
  type: git
  location: /home/coot/repos/haskell/ghc-tags-plugin
  tag: CURRENT_GIT_TAG
  subdir: .

A tags file will be created (or destructively updated) in each project directory (the same as its cabal file).
