I tried to create taglist for glib , so i tried the following:

%> cd ~/.vim/tags/
%> ctags -o glib -R --sort=yes /usr/include/glib-2.0/
%> grep g_hash glib
g_hash_table_freeze /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/ghash.h  125;"   d
g_hash_table_thaw   /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/ghash.h  134;"   d

Well , things like g_hash_table_new() wasn’t included here , did i miss something important here ?

Thanks !

    For me this works:

    ctags -o glib.tags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --sort=yes glib-2.0

    (Exuberant Ctags 5.7, Win 32)

    The important option here is +p. This adds function prototypes to the tags file.
    This is necessary since you scan only .h-files and not the .c/.cpp-files. Thus
    ctags “sees” only the prototypes.

    g_hash_table_freeze and g_hash_table_thaw are tagged without the +p option because they are just defines, not function prototypes.
