           Summary: ctags part does not work well if comments are part of
                    the tag line
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.2
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: volker.kaiser comsoft de


Version:           3.2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.2.3 
OS:                Linux

if there are comments within a tag relevant code line the ctags part does not find the line.

example: 

struct A
{
  void testmethod(void); /* this tag will not be found by ctags part */
  void secondtest(void); // cpp comment does not work either
};

this leads to the following 2 lines in the tags file

testmethod	testheader.h	/^   void testmethod(void); \/* this tag will not be found by ctags part *\/$/;"	p	struct:A
secondtest	testheader.h	/^   void secondtest(void); \/\/ cpp comment does not work either $/;"	p	struct:A


here is the header of my tags file:

!_TAG_FILE_FORMAT	2	/extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to lines/
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED	1	/0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR	Darren Hiebert	/dhiebert users sourceforge net/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME	Exuberant Ctags	//
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL	http://ctags.sourceforge.net	/official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION	5.5.4	//

I also tested this with the vi editor and it works there.
