<span id="cmake"></span><h1>CMake parser<a class="headerlink" href="#cmake-parser" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>The CMake parser is used for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.cmake</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMakeLists.txt</span></code> files.
It generates tags for the following items:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>User-defined functions</p></li>
<li><p>User-defined macros</p></li>
<li><p>User-defined options created by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">option()</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Variables defined by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set()</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>Targets created by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_custom_target()</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_executable()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_library()</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>The parser uses the experimental multi-table regex <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ctags</span></code> options to
perform the parsing and tag generation.</p>
<p>Caveats:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>Names that are <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${}</span></code> references to variables are not tagged.</p>
<p>For example, given the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>set(PROJECT_NAME_STR ${PROJECT_NAME})
add_executable( ${PROJECT_NAME_STR} ... )
add_custom_target( ${PROJECT_NAME_STR}_tests ... )
add_library( sharedlib ... )
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>…the variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PROJECT_NAME_STR</span></code> and target <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sharedlib</span></code> will both be tagged,
but the other targets will not be.</p>
