Avoid doubly tagging parse.y when both parse.c and parse.y are given on the command line, in either order. * etags.c (find_entries): Delete tags previously obtained from file xxx.c's #line directives when parsing file xxx.y. This is generally done for automatically generated files containing #line directives. This handles the case when xxx.y is tagged before xxx.c, and the entries of xxx.c pointing to xxx.y should be discarded. (language): Added the metasource member. Initializers changed. (invalidate_nodes): New function. (readline): Discard lines after having found a #line directive pointing to an already tagged file. This handles the case when xxx.y is tagged before xxx.c, and the entries of xxx.c pointing to xxx.y should be discarded. (fdesc): New structure for keeping track of input files. (fdesc): Remove `file' member (a string) and use instead a pointer to a file description structure. (curfile, curfiledir, curtagfname, curlang, nocharno, forced_lang): Global variables removed in favor of fdhead and curfdp, pointers to file description strucures. (longopts, main, print_help): Use the CTAGS conditional to include or exclude options that work on etags or ctags only. (process_file, find_entries, pfnote, add_node, put_entries, readline): Use fdhead and curfdp. (process_file, find_entries): Do not take an arg string, all callers changed. * etags.c (longopts, print_help, main): Test CTAGS to disallow options that are not right for either etags or ctags. * etags.c (number_len, total_size_of_entries): Define them also in CTAGS mode, because gcc does not compile all refs away.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
