  • Format of O=Xref output

    From David Corcoran@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 7 09:26:33 2016
    Folks,

    I thought I'd use the output of the O (B) module to generate tags for vim, it seemed pretty straight forward:

    perl -MO=Xref (filename) > xrefout.txt

    then process xrefout.txt

    What I noticed is a bunch of 'File' references that are not vaild filenames, i.e. names with control/non-printing characters.

    I've looked high and low for an detailed description for this and could find nothing but meager mentions that the O module is used for access into the compiler.

    Any help appreciated...

    Example of strange output please and maybe the OS you're running on.
