[PATCH v2] scripts/tags.sh: Prevent binary files appearing in cscope.files
From: Sergei Litvin
Date: Tue Jul 14 2026 - 04:34:09 EST
When executing the command `make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 cscope`, the resulting
`cscope.files` file contains filenames with the extensions *.rlib, *.rmeta,
and *.so.
To fix this, modify the regular expression in the `all_compiled_sources()`
function so that only files with the extensions *.h, *.c, *.S, and *.rs are
accepted.
The issue has been introduced by commit 4f491bb6ea2a ("scripts/tags.sh: collect
compiled source precisely") which implemented the parsing of compiled sources
from *.cmd files instead of using the "find" command.
