Had a quick look and it looks to me like Monodevelop may use a temporary
file with the current buffer.  It does use CTags though, however the
code for the most part is sparsely commented.  However it looks as  if
it creates a new  thread and  ctags is run against the tmp file
containing the buffer and then the output parsed.

looks like relevant files are in
monodevelop-2.2.2/src/addins/CBinding/Parser.
