#354 `ctags' does not see embedded functions - bug or feature ??

[aabatpurdue]

I was looking at the "wininput.c" file from Cygwin's "mintty" source code. The "win_key_down()" function, in particular, contains a large number of embedded functions (some are explicitly declared "inline", others are not). `ctags (5.8)' does not see any of them. The following is a faux file to illustrate the problem.

int sub1 (int a) {
  int sub2 (int b) {return (b+1);}
  return (sub2(a));
}

`ctags' sees "sub1" but not "sub2".

`gcc (4.7.3)' has no problems with the file.

So, is this a bug or a feature?

Or did I miss an option somewhere (:@{).
