When using exuberant ctags version 5.8 on macosx (from homebrew), \s doesn't find any tags but changing it to [[:space:]] does. Also tested against exuberant ctags 5.9 on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 and it works to (fwiw, I use [[:space:]] in my personal ctags too for other things instead of \s).
What?
Change the ctags regex from
\s
to[[:space:]]
.Why?
