Best way to extract vim syntax files and ctags from Doxygen?

I wanted to write a vim syntax file for a library that has Doxygen documentation.

Does a tool like that already exist ?

If not, what would be the best way to generate this automatically ?

• write a new output generator (complicated) ?
• parse lots of xml from doxygen/xml/*.xml (slow) ?

Anything else ?

I was surprised that s开发者_Go百科omething like this doesn't already exist. Any idea why ? Am I looking in the wrong place ?

As opposed to parsing all of the generated XML files, you should be able to generate a Doxygen tags file. The tag file can be created with the Doxygen option GENERATE_TAGFILE. The resulting file is still XML, but it captures all of the files, structs, functions and other symbols in a single file which is likely easier to transform into the format that you need.
