Re: Editor (execute any command) options processing

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Thank you. I understand.
I tried it on original cscope, same result.

Looking at some online manuals, EDITOR is described as follows:
    cscope: EDITOR Preferred editor, which defaults to vi.
    csh:    EDITOR  The pathname to a default editor.
This does not appear to include options.

Your suggestion is very useful, but I think it falls outside
this definition (or convention). So even if the feature is
valid for gtags-cscope, it may not be valid for other tools.

Instead, how about the following method?

[custom-emacsclient]
+------------------------------
|#!/bin/sh
|emacsclient -n $@
+------------------------------

$ EDITOR=custom-emacsclient
$ gtags-cscope

The advantage of this method is that it follows the definition
(or convention) of EDITOR, so it can be used with any tool.
What do you think?

Regards,
Shigio
