You are right. Thank you for pointing out.

There are two ideas about '..'(parent directory).

        /home/src/      (a project directory, it has GTAGS)
               +-lib/
               +-src/
                   +-- main.c 
               +-foo (symlink)
                  |
                  |
        /sys/     v
           +-----bar/ (outside of the project, it doesn't have GTAGS)
           +-----src/
                  +-- main.c 

The parent directory of 'foo' is
(1) /home/src
(2) /sys

We might have to take (1).
If so, the answer to your previous question is 
"main             4 src/main.c         main(int argc, char *argv[])"
instead "'/sys/src/main.c' is out of source tree".
