Re: With a wacky macro before it, 'global' appears to miss a function

For this issue, it seems that complex rules complicate the problem
more and more. Because, using macros, programmers can make many things
which look like function declaration. It is difficult for us to treat
all of them.

Another proposal:
How about using ./.notfunction file? (This facility is undocumented.)

If you invoke gtags command with the following files.

[.notfunction]
+----------------------------
|STRUCT_DEF_MACRO                                                   <==

[test.c]
        +-------------------------------------------------------
     1  |#define STRUCT_DEF_MACRO(name, type)    \
     2  |struct name {                           \
     3  |        struct type *first;             \
     4  |}
     5  |
     6  |STRUCT_DEF_MACRO(my_struct, int) struct_instance_name;     <==
     7  |
     8  |void test_func(long dummy1, long dummy2)
     9  |{
    10  |
    11  |}


1. WITH .notfunction file

$ global -f main.c
STRUCT_DEF_MACRO    1 test.c           #define STRUCT_DEF_MACRO(name, type)    \
name                2 test.c           struct name {                           \
test_func           8 test.c           void test_func(long dummy1, long dummy2)

2. WITHOUT .notfunction file

$ global -f main.c
STRUCT_DEF_MACRO    1 test.c           #define STRUCT_DEF_MACRO(name, type)    \
name                2 test.c           struct name {                           \
STRUCT_DEF_MACRO    6 test.c           STRUCT_DEF_MACRO(my_struct, int) 
struct_instance_name;

It also works well with the following example:

A()
int foo() { ... }       

However, it is necessary to make .function file by hand. :<
