Nick,
I am curious: if a tag file is not to be used to code completion, or to find a symbol declaration/definition, what would be its use?
It is used for code completion (assuming you're editing a file with a compatible filetype). It's used for everything tag-related, (e.g. calltips for C-like files), only at the moment the tag files don't store the filename. The format is very similar to Anjuta's global tags, and I guess they wanted to avoid saving the full filename for each tag. (Perhaps there could be an index of filenames instead, if anyone wants to work on it).
Regards, Nick
