Details

The Vim package in base does is not built with --enable-cscope option. Cscope allows for C/C++ tagging similiar to ctags but adds more enhanced search capabilities. Cscope is already a package in Arch so I think Vim should be built to support it.
This task depends upon

cscope is in extra::devel
vim is in current

that's the reason for not using --enable-cscope, right?

Having trouble getting it to work. I build with cscope enabled, generated the cscope data file. cscope itself works fine, but the "CTRL-\ s" key combo cited in the cscope/vim tutorial does not do anything.

Am I missing something?

The point is that VIM should be enabled to use CScope. If you enable it, and don't have CScope, it acts exactly the same way as it normally should. The only thing this compile switch gives you is the ability for Vim to read a CScope database file, and have default key bindings. So people who want to take advantage of the feature can. By not building with --enable-cscope Vim will not know how to use the CScope database so nobody can use it, even if they want to.

Once you have CScope support enabled in VIM:
1. cd to your root source directory and run 'cscope -Rb'
2. run vi
3. connect Vi to the CScope database ':cs add cscope.out'
4. open a project file in Vi, put the curser over tag and type '<CTL>-\' (control-backslash together) and then 's'
5. you can also use CScope like the normal tag command command <CTL>-] (control-close brace together) and <CTL>-t (control-t together)

FlySpray messed up my comment. The commands are...

"CTL-\" then s
"CTL-]"
"CTL-t"

"CTL-\" then s

"CTL-]"

"CTL-t"

Hmmm, I must be screwing up somewhere.

Built vim fine with --enable-scope, generated cscope.out.

":cs add cscope.out" worked without error.

But "CTL-backslash s" does nothing.

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong. Try to follow this tutorial very closely if it still does not work.

Well, let's start with the vim package. Can you see if this one works with cscope or not?

# pacman -U ftp://dragon.archlinux.org/current/os/i686/vim-6.3-4.pkg.tar.gz

Works fine.

Okay, then my problem is just incompetency then. :)

I'll commit the new VIM package.
