Analyzing jquery does not end.

[sangwook-kim]

I'm not sure this issue is new one. It might be the same issue as issue #5.
If I'm doing wrong, please forgive me. It's my first day at github.

When I try jsctags where jquery-1.6.2.min.js,
It never ends. CPU goes up to 100%....

I've tried about 5 times, I got an error message only once. The other times, I got no message at all.
The error message I've got was......

Maximum call stack size exceeded

node.js:134
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

So, is it possible to have more call stacks?

Hi doovoochild,

This isn't the same issue as #5. DrJS hangs for some programs, including jquery, and we'll have to fix this at some point.

Is there any plans on fixing this?
I'm really interested if this is an implementation issue(and jsctags will be able process large js files(e.g. >5k loc) in a few seconds some day) or the complexity of the underlying algorithm doesn't allows to make the tool practical for such large files?

As a workaround for the time being, the following patch adds a --ignore commandline option, so one can do

$ jsctags lib --ignore jquery

I guess mx4492's solution is good enough for now.

Thank you very much.
