Java: Local classes are ignored

[pyropeter]

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/anonymousclasses.html
• Copy the first code block (class HelloWorldAnonymousClasses) into a file
• Run ctags

Expected:

I expect ctags to create four tags for greet. It only creates one, inside the interface definition.

The option --kinds-Java=l, which is described with local variables, surprisingly influences this: An additional tag is emitted for the greet implementation inside EnglishGreeting. Still no tags are created for the implementations inside the anonymous classes.

Thank you for reporting. Reproduced. Could you give me shorter input?

[masatake]

It seems that fixing this is not so easy.

The input is recorded as a test case triggering the bug. See #1756.

I'm working on reimplenting the java parser with using a parser generator. What I got today is what you wanted:)

I have to work on this item more.

[yamato@master]~/var/ctags-peg/Units/parser-java.r/anonymous-class.b% cat input.java 
cat input.java 
// See #1739
public class input {
    interface greeting {
	public void greet(String word);
    }

    public void hello () {
	greeting g = new greeting() {
		public void greet (String word) {
		}
	};
	g.greet("hello");
    }
    public void bye () {
	greeting h = new greeting() {
		public void greet (String word) {
		}
	};
	h.greet("bye");
    }

}

I have measured the performance of the new Java parser. Too slow. 30 ~ 50 times slower than the current implementation.

I have to rewrite a new one without the parser generator.
