Hello,
The ctags e5b7a2508db6e1374ea78a300cc9b45f4b26b02a detects a function as variable in the header epan/except.h of the Wireshark library:
WS_DLL_PUBLIC void (*except_unhandled_catcher(void (*)(except_t *)))(except_t *);
The command
ctags -x --c-kinds=fpvx --language-force=c epan/except.h | grep except_unhandled_catcher
returns:
except_t variable 100 epan/except.h WS_DLL_PUBLIC void (*except_unhandled_catcher(void (*)(except_t *)))(except_t *);
However it's a function except_unhandled_catcher (both return value type and parameter type are function pointers).
Thank you.
I can confirm this, and that the old C parser got that one right. Ignoring/removing WS_DLL_PUBLIC
doesn't change anything in either case.
$ ./ctags -x --OldC-kinds=+pv --languages=OldC /tmp/1012.c
except_unhandled_catcher prototype 1 /tmp/1012.c WS_DLL_PUBLIC void (*except_unhandled_catcher(void (*)(except_t *)))(except_t *);
jeez... this syntax is hard :D
I'll try to make sense of it.
This should be fixed by #1119.
