Hi
When i use the citre to look up some refercnes of a variable in the verilog code, it tells me Can’t find references: "idelay_reset_cnt" (global backend).
The cmd is citre-jump-to-references, but how can i use it work correctly?
First let's see if gtags actually recorded the reference you need.
Run $ global -xr idelay_reset_cnt in your project root and see if there's any output.
Nothing put out!
I use the citre-create-tags-fire and have created the .tags file. Then i use citre-jump-to-reference, Do i need something else relate to global settings?
For now ctags doesn't generate references.
The only reference backend for Citre is the global backend. Read https://github.com/universal-ctags/citre/blob/master/docs/user-manual/citre-global.md to setup GNU Global and try again.
Is it support the verilog language?
It should support verilog but I haven't tried it. You need to use the pygments plugin parser for gtags, see the documentation.
Thanks for your suggestion. At present, i choose to use the ripgrep instead!
I have a question. Although the tags support the citre-jump, why it doesn't support the citre-jump-to-reference. Ctags is similar to the gtags. And gtags works very well. Can the function to be supported independently by ctags and citre?
I've already answered.
