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.

@quotation
  Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes Emacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
