Introduction

Generating tags file according to the DWARF debug information in the binary file.

Prerequisites

• SQLAlchemy
• SQLite3

Installation

# Ubuntu
apt install sqlite3 
# ArchLinux
pacman -S sqlite3
pip install btags

Usage

btags.py -j 2 -c /dir/to/the/build/root /path/to/the/binary

• -j max worker threads
• -c specify the directory under which the binary is compiled

After, you will get a tags file under current working directory.

It can be used as following

vim -t main

For examples Assume there is a autoconf project under dir /tmp/project, and you use the following command to build it.

cd /tmp/project
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make

Then, /tmp/project/build will be the build root, because the project is compiled under this directory.

TODO

• [] Replace sqlite with other faster data store mean
• [] Add test cases
• [] Add Travis CI support
