RE: Tags versus Symbols

Forgot to mention that I'm using emacs xgtags.el for displaying. This
does not affect the creation of the tag/symbol files, but wanted to
mention it none-the-less.
 
Thanks.

	Hello all.
	 
	Just discovered GLOBAL today and like it very much...however
there is one issue that will be the deciding factor on whether I can use
it or not. Hopefully I can...
	 
	I am seeing structure elements not being defined as tags and
instead as symbols. Let's take the following example structure below:
	 
	typedef struct {
	    VpDevCtxType *pDevCtx;       /* Pointer to device Context */
	    uint8 channelId;             /* Channel identity */
	    VpLineCtxType *pLineCtx;     /* Pointer to Line Context */
	    VpTermType termType;         /* Termination Type */
	    VpLineIdType lineId;         /* Application system wide line
identifier */
	} VpLineInfoType;
	
	From a source file, foo.c, running 'xgtags-find-tag' on
VpLineInfoType takes me to this structure. So far so good. When I run
'xgtags-find-tag' on one of the elements of this structure, pDevCtx for
example, the tag is not found. Using CTAGS, I can jump to this tag
without issue.
	 
	I tried running 'xgtags-find-symbol' but that seems to give me
ALL references to the symbol pDevCtx. This is very unmanageable as I
want to simply get a concise list of definitions, not references. Why do
these structure elements appear in the SYM file instead of TAGS. Is
there some configuration parameter I'm missing?
	 
	Is there anyway I can remedy this situation? I like the
reference capabilities of GLOBAL but need to have tag handling like
ctags, ectags, etags, etc.
	 
	Please help...
	 
	Thanks in advance.
	Javier
