Using clang?[]

Couldn't this plugin use clang for parsing C++? At the moment tag list has problems with my C++ code

I use this plugin to put the name of the current function (where cursor is located) in the statusline using:

 set statusline+=%(%{Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line()}%), " Function name

This generally works very well with C code. However, I see one example where it displays the wrong information:

$ cd vim/src
$ vim ex_getln.c '+/^showmatches/+20'

:echo Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line()

Actual result:
L_SHOWFILE

Expected result:
showmatches

Note that this plugin adds a lot to the startup time because it does a lot of initialization when it is loaded, even if taglist is never called in the Vim session. It could easily fix this by only initializing the first time a user make use of taglist. --Preceding unsigned comment added by Brachus 18:10, September 24, 2012

The taglist plugin is designed to load the functions only when any of the functionality is used. Otherwise, the plugin is not loaded and will not increase the Vim startup time. Most probably, the author of the previous comment has enabled the taglist menu. To generate the menu, the taglist plugin needs to load all the functions. --Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon 02:29, July 22, 2013
