Since today, make tags got a lot more noisy for me on Debian unstable (exuberant-ctags 1:5.9~svn20110310-10) $ make tags GEN tags ctags: Warning: drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c:41: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c:64: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: kernel/locking/lockdep.c:153: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: kernel/workqueue.c:307: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:133: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:135: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: net/rds/page.c:45: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: net/ipv6/syncookies.c:44: null expansion of name pattern "\1" ctags: Warning: net/ipv4/syncookies.c:53: null expansion of name pattern "\1" Looks like it's choking on DEFINE_PER_CPU definitions ?
