'make cscope' exists and functions correctly ;) cscope works, but unfortunately it cannot be extended to understand the preprocessor constructs. But it does not suffer from the problem at hand, obviously. >> It's not ctags itself parsing the DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro, but a >> user-supplied regex specified on commandline.

See https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444940195-28272-9-git-send-email-mmarek@xxxxxxxx It used to require a closing parenthesis, so it would not match the multiline macro invocations at all. Now it matches them, but ctags correctly warns that the empty string is probably not what we intended to match.
