That is the right place for it :) The issue is that you are searching all of the different architectures, how is ctags supposed to know you don't want the alpha definition, but really the ia64 definition of the function? You should try to trim the files you are using, the kernel has a build option for this: make tags or if you use cscope: make cscope Hope this helps, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
