[Ctags] parsing tags from memory buffer

Hi all,

consider this example: I have a text-buffer that needs multiple
ctags-parses, say 10 or more every 60 seconds in the worst case.
It's obvious that flushing the text-buffer on a temporary file every
time gives a bad perfomance... and I don't want to follow this way.
I was wondering if it would be possibile to use a modified ctags to work
with memory buffers instead of with file-descriptors.
IMHO the "big work" should be on read.c, changing the fgetc and similar
functions to manage a text-buffer. Am I right? Anyone has a better idea?


thanks in advance and regards,

Massimo
